About kerosene disposal in Duntocher
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.
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.
Once lifted, the kerosene is disposed of through a licensed route — recovered where it can be, destroyed where it cannot — and every step is captured on the waste transfer note you keep.
Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Duntocher goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully.

Common questions
Do you dispose of kerosene in Duntocher?
Yes — across Duntocher and the rest of West Dunbartonshire. 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.
