Because it is a controlled, flammable oil, it cannot simply be drained onto the ground. Once collected the kerosene goes to a licensed facility, and you keep the transfer note. For a house sale or an estate, that document shows the tank was cleared properly. Collection is the practical half of the job: someone comes to where the kerosene is, pumps it out of the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container for residue and takes it away under a waste transfer note. You keep the note as proof it was handled correctly. The practical side of a collection is access and volume. Once we know both for the site in Dervaig, the carrier attends on a booked slot, pumps the fuel out and documents it, often the same day for reachable tanks. ## Local Scottish kerosene collector in Dervaig: the facts Fuel | Kerosene | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Argyll and Bute | Why it degrades | Grows water sludge and bacteria over time; fouls the boiler nozzle | Typical sources | Home heating tanks, decommissioning, boiler upgrades, house sales, estates | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | SEPA | Typical cost | Quoted per litre | Attendance | Booked collection, often same day | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where kerosene comes from around Dervaig We collect kerosene across Dervaig from kerosene contaminated by water, condensation sludge or bacterial growth that keeps tripping the boiler.

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.
