About old petrol disposal in Corrie
The problem with old petrol is chemistry, not bad luck. Within three to six months it begins to oxidise and separate, and modern E10 makes it worse: the ethanol pulls in water and the mix goes cloudy and acidic. Pour that through an engine and you are cleaning carburettors and injectors afterwards.
Once petrol has been collected it is routed to a licensed facility, where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing, and the paperwork that goes with it, are handled for you — you are not left working out what to do with a drum of dead fuel.
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.
Disposal closes the duty-of-care loop for a site in Corrie: 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 old petrol in Corrie?
Yes — across Corrie and the rest of North Ayrshire. 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.
