About kerosene disposal in Newcastleton
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.
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.
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.
The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Newcastleton for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone.

Common questions
Do you dispose of kerosene in Newcastleton?
Yes — across Newcastleton and the rest of Scottish Borders. 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.
