Oil & oil contaminated waste

We offer tanker collections for large amounts of waste oil or oil/water mixes. Alternatively, we can collect oil and oil contaminated waste stored in drums or IBC’s on our vans and wagons.

We also collect almost any oil-contaminated absorbents including:

- Rags and tissues

- Granules and spill kits

- Contaminated PPE

- Other absorbent products

- Empty containers with oil residues

We work with a wide range of businesses in a variety of sectors to collect their oil-contaminated rags and absorbents and can offer set collections or an ad-hoc service across the UK. Our digital consignment system will provide you with the correct Environment Agency paperwork for each collection.

Wherever possible we divert waste from landfill. Oil contaminated rags and absorbents that we collect are pre-treated and either sent to a waste-to-energy facility, where they are used as a fuel, or if suitable the waste laundered and returned into rags for ongoing use.
