About kerosene collection in Strathyre
Home heating kerosene is a light distillate that a boiler atomises through a very fine nozzle, which is why contamination matters: a little water, sludge or bacterial growth and the boiler locks out.
The most common call is a boiler upgrade or a switch to a heat pump, leaving a tank of kerosene with nowhere to go. Pumping it out and removing it is a short job once the tank is accessible.
At collection a carrier comes to the kerosene wherever it sits, draws it out, checks for residue in the tank or cans, and carries it away — the transfer note recording exactly what was lifted.
Collections in Strathyre 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 Strathyre?
Yes — across Strathyre and the rest of Stirling. 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.
