About kerosene disposal in Castlebay
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.
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.
Disposal closes the loop: the collected kerosene reaches a permitted facility, is processed or destroyed lawfully, and the transfer note issued on site is your proof it was done right.
Done properly, disposal gives you a defensible trail. The fuel from Castlebay is destroyed or recovered at a licensed facility, and the documentation issued is what protects you under the duty-of-care regime.
