About kerosene disposal in Stonehaven
When a home comes off oil heating, the leftover kerosene is often the last thing anyone thinks about. It cannot be poured away or left in a redundant tank, so it is pumped out and removed under a transfer note.
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.
Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the kerosene goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.
Disposal closes the duty-of-care loop for a site in Stonehaven: 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 Stonehaven?
Yes — across Stonehaven and the rest of Aberdeenshire. 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.
