About kerosene disposal in Point
The usual trouble with kerosene is not the fuel but the water and sludge that collect beneath it over the years, which foul the boiler and can corrode the tank. When the tank has to be emptied, the old oil is hazardous waste.
Tank decommissioning often comes with the fuel removal — draining the oil first so the tank can be cleaned, cut down or taken away safely. Say if that is what you need when you call.
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 Point is destroyed or recovered at a licensed facility, and the documentation issued is what protects you under the duty-of-care regime.

Common questions
Do you dispose of kerosene in Point?
Yes — across Point and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. 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.
