About heating oil disposal in Drumry
Heating oil covers both the 28-second kerosene most homes burn and the heavier 35-second gas oil some older and agricultural boilers use. Both degrade in a standing tank, both collect water and sludge at the bottom, and both foul a burner once contamination takes hold.
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 is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the heating oil goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.
The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Drumry, the fuel is routed to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction, and the paper trail is the point: your duty of care is discharged by evidence, not assurances.
