Local Welsh heating oil collector in Newtown
heating oil collection in Newtown starts with a phone call to 01295 380724. We send a registered waste carrier to the tank, store, drums or cans wherever they sit in Newtown, pump the fuel out, check the vessel and issue the transfer note there and then — usually 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre or per job.
Old heating oil is hazardous waste, so it leaves under licence and with paperwork — not down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.

About heating oil collection in Newtown
A heating-oil tank quietly accumulates trouble at the bottom — water from condensation, a sludge of degraded oil and bacterial growth, and sometimes rust from the tank itself. That is what fouls burners and corrodes tanks.
Tank sludge is where proper clearance differs from a simple pump-out. The water and degraded residue at the bottom are lifted as well as the usable oil, which is what leaves a tank genuinely empty and clean.
Collection is the practical half of the job: someone comes to where the heating oil is, pumps it out of the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container for residue and takes it away under a waste transfer note. You keep the note as proof it was handled correctly.
For collection in Newtown the carrier comes to the fuel rather than the other way round. With the litres and access confirmed, the visit is quick, the vessel is left checked, and the transfer note is your proof it was lifted properly.

Common questions
Do you collect heating oil in Newtown?
Yes — across Newtown and the rest of Powys. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the heating oil and issues a waste transfer note on site.
What counts as heating oil?
Both 28-second kerosene (the common domestic oil) and 35-second gas oil used by some older and agricultural boilers. We collect and dispose of both, plus tank sludge.
Do you remove the sludge as well as the oil?
Yes. The sludge and water at the bottom of a tank are part of the job and are collected with the oil, which is why proper clearance is more than pumping off clean fuel.
Is heating oil hazardous waste?
Yes. It cannot be tipped away, drained or left in a redundant tank. A registered carrier removes it and disposes of it through a permitted facility with a transfer note.
Can you help with a leaking or rusted tank?
We pump out the oil and sludge so a failing tank can be dealt with safely, and can advise on cleaning and decommissioning. Describe the tank when you call.
