About old petrol disposal in Caputh
The trouble with a tank of forgotten petrol is that it quietly turns from fuel into a liability. It loses combustibility, gains acidity, absorbs water where there is ethanol, and coats the fuel system in varnish. Because it is flammable hazardous waste, the safe answer is to have it removed.
Volume is rarely an obstacle. A single jerry can, the tank of a barn-find, or a store of mixed old petrol from a workshop clear-out are all straightforward to lift once we know the rough litres and where it is.
Disposal closes the loop: the collected petrol reaches a permitted facility, is processed or destroyed lawfully, and the transfer note issued on site is your proof it was done right.
The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Caputh 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 old petrol in Caputh?
Yes — across Caputh and the rest of Perth and Kinross. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old petrol and issues a waste transfer note on site.
Can old petrol be recycled?
Once collected it goes to a licensed facility where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing is handled for you and documented on the transfer note.
How much old petrol will you take?
Anything from a single can to a full vehicle tank or a bulk store. Tell us the rough volume in litres and you get a price before anyone travels.
Is a small amount still worth collecting?
Yes. Even a can or two is safer removed than left in a garage, and it is lifted with a transfer note the same as a larger volume.
Will you take mixed or misfuelled petrol?
Yes — petrol mixed with diesel, oil or other fuel is collected and disposed of the same way. Just say what is in it when you call.
