About heating oil disposal in Port Seton
People reach for heating-oil removal at the same handful of moments: a tank at the end of its life, a switch away from oil heating, contaminated oil that keeps tripping the burner, a spill or leak, or a property changing hands.
Domestic and commercial jobs alike are handled — a single house tank, a bunded commercial store, or a farm tank — quoted per litre against volume and access.
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.
The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Port Seton for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone.

Common questions
Do you dispose of heating oil in Port Seton?
Yes — across Port Seton and the rest of East Lothian. 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.
