About old petrol disposal in Tullibody
Given enough time petrol separates and stratifies, the ethanol-water layer sinking while the top goes stale and resinous. That layering alone will stop an engine, and the acids that form attack rubber and alloy in the fuel system. Removal beats risking the damage.
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.
Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The petrol is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal.
The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Tullibody, 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 Tullibody?
Yes — across Tullibody 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.
