About heating oil disposal in Fishcross
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.
The point of disposal is provability. The heating oil ends up at a permitted facility, handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note records the whole movement as your evidence.
Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Fishcross goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully.

Common questions
Do you dispose of heating oil in Fishcross?
Yes — across Fishcross and the rest of Clackmannanshire. 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.
