About kerosene disposal in Banchory
Kerosene sits quietly in a tank until something disturbs it — a house move, a switch away from oil heating, a leak, or years of condensation building a sludge layer at the bottom. Because it is a controlled, flammable oil, it cannot simply be drained onto the ground.
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.
The point of disposal is provability. The kerosene ends up at a permitted facility, handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note records the whole movement as your evidence.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Banchory 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 Banchory?
Yes — across Banchory 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.
