About old petrol disposal in Evanton
Stale petrol is a fire risk and a running risk in one. As it ages it throws off vapour more readily even as it loses the octane an engine needs, and the residue it leaves gums up everything it touches. It is also hazardous waste — you cannot tip it down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.
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.
The disposal side is the paperwork and the destination. The petrol is routed to a licensed facility, processed or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note so you can show it was dealt with lawfully.
The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Evanton, the fuel is routed to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction, and the paper trail is the point: your duty of care is discharged by evidence, not assurances.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old petrol in Evanton?
Yes — across Evanton and the rest of Highland. 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.
