Local Scottish kerosene disposal in Arisaig
If you have kerosene to clear in Arisaig, call 01295 380724. The job is straightforward: a licensed carrier attends anywhere in Arisaig, pumps the fuel from the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container and issues the transfer note on site. Normally 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre.
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 disposal in Arisaig
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.
Tank decommissioning often comes with the fuel removal — draining the oil first so the tank can be cleaned, cut down or taken away safely. Say if that is what you need when you call.
Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the kerosene goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.
Disposal is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Arisaig reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word.

Common questions
Do you dispose of kerosene in Arisaig?
Yes — across Arisaig and the rest of Highland. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the kerosene and issues a waste transfer note on site.
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.
How much notice do you need?
Often a collection can be booked quickly; the window is confirmed with the quote before anyone travels. Access and volume set the timing.
Will you take contaminated kerosene?
Yes — water-logged, sludged or bacterially spoiled kerosene is collected and disposed of the same way, with documentation.
