old petrol to shift in Usk? One call to 01295 380724 sorts it.

Most jobs are 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre or per job, and often done the same day.
The rules treat old petrol as hazardous waste, so removal and disposal go through licensed channels with documentation — the clean, legal alternative to tipping it.

About old petrol collection in Usk
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.
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.
What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the petrol, inspect the empty vessel, and carry it away for you — all covered by the transfer note issued before the carrier leaves.
A collection runs to a booked slot rather than a wait. We confirm the price and window against the litres and access in Usk, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions
Do you collect old petrol in Usk?
Yes — across Usk and the rest of Monmouthshire. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old petrol and issues a waste transfer note on site.
How do you know petrol has gone off?
It darkens, smells sour or like varnish rather than sharp, and may look cloudy where ethanol has drawn in water. If in doubt, do not try to burn it.
Can I just pour old petrol away?
No. Petrol is flammable hazardous waste. Putting it down a drain, onto the ground or in a bin is an offence and a fire risk. A registered carrier removes it under a transfer note.
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.
