About kerosene collection in Mosstodloch
Kerosene — standard 28-second heating oil, sometimes still called paraffin — is what most off-grid homes burn for heat and hot water. In a tank it slowly degrades, and where rain or condensation has got in it grows sludge and bacteria that block the boiler's fine nozzle.
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.
For collection in Mosstodloch the carrier comes to the fuel rather than the other way round. With the litres and access confirmed, the visit is quick, the vessel is left checked, and the transfer note is your proof it was lifted properly.

Common questions
Do you collect kerosene in Mosstodloch?
Yes — across Mosstodloch and the rest of Moray. 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.
