About kerosene disposal in Aultbea
A layer of water at the bottom of a kerosene tank is almost inevitable over the years, and it is where the trouble starts — bacterial growth, sludge and tank corrosion all begin there. Emptying and checking the tank deals with it.
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.
Disposal is about where the kerosene ends up and being able to prove it. Once collected it goes to a permitted facility for recovery or destruction, and you get a waste transfer note recording what left, when and where it went — your duty-of-care evidence if anyone ever asks.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Aultbea is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.

Common questions
Do you dispose of kerosene in Aultbea?
Yes — across Aultbea 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.
