About heating oil disposal in Reawick
Heating-oil removal is usually about the tank as much as the fuel: an old steel tank rusting from the inside, a bunded tank being decommissioned, or a boiler upgrade that leaves a tankful of oil with nowhere to go.
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 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.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Reawick is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.

Common questions
Do you dispose of heating oil in Reawick?
Yes — across Reawick and the rest of Shetland Islands. 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.
