About old petrol disposal in Letham
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.
The point of disposal is provability. The petrol ends up at a permitted facility, handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note records the whole movement as your evidence.
Disposal is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Letham 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 Letham?
Yes — across Letham and the rest of Angus. 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.
