About heating oil disposal in Clackmannan
When a heating-oil tank leaks or fails, speed matters — a spill is an environmental problem as well as a heating one. Getting the oil and sludge out lets the tank be dealt with before more escapes.
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.
Disposal closes the loop: the collected heating oil reaches a permitted facility, is processed or destroyed lawfully, and the transfer note issued on site is your proof it was done right.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Clackmannan is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.
