Local Scottish heating oil collector in Strathblane
heating oil collection in Strathblane starts with a phone call to 01295 380724. We send a registered waste carrier to the tank, store, drums or cans wherever they sit in Strathblane, pump the fuel out, check the vessel and issue the transfer note there and then — usually 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre.
Old heating oil is hazardous waste, so it leaves under licence and with paperwork — not down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.

About heating oil collection in Strathblane
The sludge at the base of an old heating-oil tank is its own job. It is not clean fuel but a mix of water, degraded oil and bacterial matter, and clearing a tank properly means taking that away too, not just pumping off the good oil.
Once collected, heating oil and its sludge go to a permitted facility for recovery or disposal, documented on a transfer note that is your duty-of-care record.
At collection a carrier comes to the heating oil wherever it sits, draws it out, checks for residue in the tank or cans, and carries it away — the transfer note recording exactly what was lifted.
For a collection in Strathblane the useful things to have ready are the volume in litres and how the tank or cans are reached — a tanker needs different access to a van. With that we quote and book, and the lift itself is quick once the carrier is on site.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Strathblane?
Yes — across Strathblane and the rest of Stirling. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the heating oil and issues a waste transfer note on site.
What counts as heating oil?
Both 28-second kerosene (the common domestic oil) and 35-second gas oil used by some older and agricultural boilers. We collect and dispose of both, plus tank sludge.
Do you remove the sludge as well as the oil?
Yes. The sludge and water at the bottom of a tank are part of the job and are collected with the oil, which is why proper clearance is more than pumping off clean fuel.
Is heating oil hazardous waste?
Yes. It cannot be tipped away, drained or left in a redundant tank. A registered carrier removes it and disposes of it through a permitted facility with a transfer note.
Can you help with a leaking or rusted tank?
We pump out the oil and sludge so a failing tank can be dealt with safely, and can advise on cleaning and decommissioning. Describe the tank when you call.
