About heating oil disposal in Kelty
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.
The disposal side is the paperwork and the destination. The heating oil is routed to a licensed facility, processed or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note so you can show it was dealt with lawfully.
The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Kelty, 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.

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