About kerosene collection in Bragar
When a home comes off oil heating, the leftover kerosene is often the last thing anyone thinks about. It cannot be poured away or left in a redundant tank, so it is pumped out and removed under a transfer note.
Kerosene and heating oil are used loosely to mean the same thing, but strictly kerosene is the 28-second grade most homes burn, while heating oil also covers 35-second gas oil for some older or agricultural boilers. We collect either.
Collection puts the burden on the carrier, not you: they attend, pump out the kerosene, inspect what held it and remove it under licence, leaving the transfer note behind as evidence.
A collection runs to a booked slot rather than a wait. We confirm the price and window against the litres and access in Bragar, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions
Do you collect kerosene in Bragar?
Yes — across Bragar and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the kerosene and issues a waste transfer note on site.
Is kerosene the same as heating oil?
Kerosene (28-second) is the common domestic heating oil for off-grid homes. Heating oil also covers gas oil (35-second) used by some older or agricultural boilers. We collect both.
Why does old kerosene stop the boiler working?
Water and sludge collecting under the fuel, plus bacterial growth, block the boiler's fine nozzle. Removing the old oil and cleaning the tank usually clears it.
Can I empty my own oil tank?
It is safer and cleaner to have it pumped out by a registered carrier, especially as the oil is hazardous waste that cannot be tipped away. You also get a transfer note.
Do you decommission the tank too?
We pump out and remove the kerosene and can advise on or arrange tank cleaning and decommissioning. Tell us what you need when you call.
