Old heating oil is hazardous waste, so it leaves under licence and with paperwork — not down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.

About heating oil disposal in Yarrow
The heating oil in a domestic or commercial tank is a controlled, flammable oil, and time is not kind to it. Condensation feeds a sludge and bacterial layer beneath the fuel, the oil oxidises, and the tank itself can corrode from the water sitting in it.
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.
Disposal is about where the heating oil ends up and being able to prove it. Once collected it goes to a permitted facility for recovery or destruction, and you get a waste transfer note recording what left, when and where it went — your duty-of-care evidence if anyone ever asks.
Disposal is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Yarrow reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word.

Common questions
Do you dispose of heating oil in Yarrow?
Yes — across Yarrow and the rest of Scottish Borders. 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.
