Most jobs are 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre, and often done the same day.
Because kerosene like this counts as hazardous waste, it has to be removed by someone registered to carry it and disposed of through a permitted route, all documented.

About kerosene disposal in Stepps
The kerosene in a domestic heating tank keeps reasonably well but not indefinitely. Water from condensation or a failed cap sinks below it and breeds a bacterial sludge; the fuel itself oxidises and can gel in deep cold. Any of that fouls the boiler.
Kerosene and heating oil are used loosely to mean the same thing, but strictly kerosene is the 28-second grade most homes burn, while heating oil also covers 35-second gas oil for some older or agricultural boilers. We collect either.
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.
Disposal closes the duty-of-care loop for a site in Stepps: permitted facility, lawful handling, and a transfer note that answers the only question that matters if anyone asks — where did it go and can you show it.

Common questions
Do you dispose of kerosene in Stepps?
Yes — across Stepps and the rest of North Lanarkshire. 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.
