Local Scottish kerosene disposal in Wick
kerosene disposal in Wick starts with a phone call to 01295 380724. We send a registered waste carrier to the tank, store, drums or cans wherever they sit in Wick, pump the fuel out, check the vessel and issue the transfer note there and then — usually 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre.
Old kerosene is hazardous waste, so it leaves under licence and with paperwork — not down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.

About kerosene disposal in Wick
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.
Volume ranges from the dregs in a nearly empty tank to a recently filled 1,000-litre store. Either is collected; the quote follows the litres and the access.
The disposal side is the paperwork and the destination. The kerosene is routed to a licensed facility, processed or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note so you can show it was dealt with lawfully.
Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Wick 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 Wick?
Yes — across Wick and the rest of Highland. 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.
