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. Heating oil is the umbrella term; underneath it are 28-second kerosene for most domestic boilers and 35-second gas oil for some older and agricultural ones. Both, and the sludge with them, are collected and disposed of under licence. Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The heating oil is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal. Done properly, disposal gives you a defensible trail. The fuel from Burnside is destroyed or recovered at a licensed facility, and the documentation issued is what protects you under the duty-of-care regime. ## Local Scottish heating oil disposal in Burnside: the facts Fuel | Heating oil | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | South Lanarkshire | Why it degrades | Kerosene or gas oil; collects water, sludge and bacteria and corrodes tanks | Typical sources | Tank decommissioning, heating changes, contamination, sales, spills, estates | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | SEPA | Typical cost | Quoted per litre | Attendance | Collected and disposed of under licence | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where heating oil comes from around Burnside In Burnside the usual sources of heating oil we collect and dispose of are domestic and commercial heating-oil tanks decommissioned or replaced at the end of their life.

A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the heating oil and issues a waste transfer note on site. **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. **Do you cover commercial as well as domestic tanks?** Yes — house tanks, bunded commercial stores and farm tanks alike, quoted per litre against the volume and access. **How soon can it be collected?** Often quickly for accessible sites; the window is confirmed with the quote before travel. A leak is treated as more urgent. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
