About kerosene disposal in Balmedie
Off-grid households run on kerosene, and every so often a tankful has to be cleared: an oil boiler replaced, a tank at the end of its life, contaminated oil that keeps tripping the burner, or a property being sold with oil still in the tank.
Once collected the kerosene goes to a licensed facility, and you keep the transfer note. For a house sale or an estate, that document shows the tank was cleared properly.
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 Balmedie 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 Balmedie?
Yes — across Balmedie and the rest of Aberdeenshire. 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.
