Waste oil collection in York
York is best known for its history and its visitors, but behind the city walls there’s a lot of working industry. Rail engineering, bus and coach fleets, food manufacturing, construction and the farms of the Vale of York all produce used oil that needs a licensed collector. We reach York from Doncaster up the A19 or via the A1(M) and A64.
We collect all types of waste oil in York, including engine, gearbox, hydraulic, industrial and compressor oils, heating oil residues and used oil filters, as well as interceptor waste. We don’t collect cooking oil.

Who we can help in York
York has a long railway history and still has rail maintenance and engineering work around the station area. The city’s tourism keeps coach, bus and park and ride fleets busy, and those workshops produce engine oil, gearbox oil and filters all year round. On the outer ring road there are trading estates at Clifton Moor and Monks Cross with garages, tyre and fast-fit centres and trade counters. Beyond the city, the Vale of York is arable and mixed farmland, where tractors and combines use a lot of oil.
Car parks, coach parks and interceptors
A city with this many visitors has a lot of car parks, coach parks and park and ride sites, and many of them drain through oil interceptors. If an interceptor in York needs emptying, we can collect the interceptor waste and your waste oil on the same visit. For farms around the city, see farm waste oil collection.
