About old petrol disposal in Forestmill
Petrol does not keep. Left in a tank or a can for more than a few months it oxidises, the lighter fractions evaporate and it drops octane, so an engine that starts on it at all runs rough and pinks. The gums and varnish it leaves behind then clog carburettors, injectors and fuel lines.
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 is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Forestmill reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word.

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