Local Scottish kerosene collector in Killin
kerosene to shift in Killin? One call to 01295 380724 sorts it. Someone comes to wherever the fuel is across Killin, empties the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks for residue and hands you the waste transfer note before leaving. Most jobs are 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre, and often done the same day.
This is hazardous waste in law, which is why it is pumped out, carried under a registered carrier and disposed of properly rather than tipped or left.

About kerosene collection in Killin
The usual trouble with kerosene is not the fuel but the water and sludge that collect beneath it over the years, which foul the boiler and can corrode the tank. When the tank has to be emptied, the old oil is hazardous waste.
Volume ranges from the dregs in a nearly empty tank to a recently filled 1,000-litre store. Either is collected; the quote follows the litres and the access.
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.
Collections in Killin are booked, priced and windowed up front. The carrier brings the pump, empties the tank, bowser or cans, checks for residue, and hands over the transfer note — you keep it, and that is the job done.

Common questions
Do you collect kerosene in Killin?
Yes — across Killin and the rest of Perth and Kinross. 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.
