Underground Oil Tank Removal
Many domestic heating oil tanks are installed below ground. Our underground oil tank removal process starts with an understanding of your requirements. Our team will visit your site, review the oil tank’s usage history and put together a comprehensive plan for its removal.
Next, we’ll choose the most efficient, cost-effective method for removing your unused oil tank. Our process involves thoroughly cleaning the old, unused tank to dispose of any remaining contents
before removal.
In some cases, our team might need to cut your existing oil tank into several pieces for a complete and safe removal. For safety reasons, we use cold cutting and spark-free tools to complete this
process.
Oil Tank Recycling
We recycle 100% of the plastic oil tanks we remove from domestic and industrial sites. Depending on the type of heating oil tank that’s installed on your property, we may be able to recycle a large amount of its materials through our trusted recycling partners.
Following the tank removal process, we provide a certificate of disposal and other documents for your property.
