Because it is a controlled, flammable oil, it cannot simply be drained onto the ground. 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. The lift is the easy part once it is booked — a registered carrier attends, empties the kerosene, checks the vessel and takes it away, with the transfer note issued on site so the chain of custody is clear. For collection in Wick 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. ## Local Scottish kerosene collector in Wick: the facts Fuel | Kerosene | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Highland | Postcode districts | KW1 | 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 Wick Across Wick and its surroundings we collect kerosene from deceased estates and probate properties where the oil tank has to be cleared under duty of care.

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.
