Waste & Lube Oil
Waste oil tanks are an optimal solution for the disposal of used oil where regular removal to off-site facilities may not be practical. Waste oil tanks are specifically designed for the secure storage of used oil, which is a harmful pollutant, for an extended period of time before emptying. Here you can find a wide choice of bunded waste oil tanks from leading brands, in a range of capacities to suit all applications.
Waste oil equipment encompasses all that you will need when you are handling, moving, or disposing of used oil. This equipment is essential for the challenging task of handling waste oil, which is a known pollutant and must always be managed with care. Here, you can find exactly what you need, whether you are looking for absorbent pads to soak up spills, or the right size drum trolley for transportation purposes.
Our range of lube oil tanks is manufactured from extremely durable, recyclable polyethylene and provides an economical solution to suit most installations. Available in a choice of capacities they can be supplied with or without a bund depending on your requirements.
Whether you need a simple piece of lube oil equipment or a complete system, we can provide everything you need to keep your operation running smoothly. We offer a full line of lube oil equipment, from pumps and storage tanks to filtration systems and beyond.
Safe & Compliant Storage For Waste Oil
Waste oil must be stored safely and securely before it can be collected for proper disposal. A wide range of businesses require waste oil tanks to comply with regulations and to cost-effectively handle used oil. Likewise, many manufacturing and servicing facilities need to store lube oil in a safe and convenient manner to prevent contamination, prolong the life of lubricants, and keep the cogs turning freely and dispose of spent lubricants.At Northern Tank Store we offer waste oil tanks from the UK’s top manufacturers including Tuffa and Harlequin, alongside NTS tanks manufactured at our own UK facility. These include bunded steel units that are specifically designed to facilitate the storage of the majority of waste oils and lubricants
The distinguishing features of waste oil and lube oil tanks are primarily the material they’re constructed from, the size, and whether they are single skinned or have a bund. Options include plastic waste oil tanks, typically made from medium density polyethylene, and steel waste oil tanks that are a durable and long lasting option.
Bunded Waste Oil & Lube Storage
Bunded waste oil tanks consist of an inner and outer wall - in essence a ‘tank within a tank’. The inner chamber is used for storing the liquid while the outer provides fail-safe containment in the event of overfilling or spillages. Bunded tanks are available in plastic or steel.Waste oil tanks generally come fitted with a tundish. This is a funnel-shaped lid so that waste oil can be conveniently poured in with a filter to capture any waste solids or sediment. Alternatively, they also have a pumping point through which the waste liquid can be dispensed into the tank.

What can be stored in these tanks?
These tanks are designed to safely store waste oils, used engine oil, lubricating oils, and similar non-hazardous liquids. They are commonly used in garages, workshops, farms, and industrial facilities.
Are your waste oil tanks bunded?
Yes. All waste oil tanks are bunded as standard. The bund (a second outer layer) contains any leaks or spills, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and protecting the surrounding area.
Do I need a bunded tank for waste oil?
Yes. UK environmental regulations require bunded tanks for the storage of waste oil, especially in commercial or industrial settings. A bund helps prevent pollution in the event of a leak.
Are these tanks suitable for fresh lubricating oil too?
Yes, many of our tanks can also store clean lubricating oil. However, it’s important to designate tanks clearly to avoid cross-contamination between waste and fresh fluids.
What sizes are available for waste and lube oil tanks?
We offer a wide range of sizes from small 200-litre units to large tanks exceeding 5,000 litres. Choose a size based on your waste oil output and collection frequency.
What features do waste oil tanks include?
Our waste oil tanks typically come with lockable lids, removable strainers, oil level gauges, inspection hatches, and vented access points for safe and easy filling.
Are these tanks compliant with UK regulations?
Yes. Our waste oil tanks are fully compliant with the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 and other relevant industry standards.
Can the tanks be used indoors and outdoors?
Yes. The tanks are made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as high-grade polyethylene or steel, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Do you offer steel or plastic options for waste oil storage?
We supply both steel and plastic bunded waste oil tanks. Steel tanks offer added durability and security, while plastic tanks are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install.
How do I dispose of the waste oil once the tank is full?
Waste oil must be collected by a licensed waste disposal company. Many users schedule regular pick-ups based on tank capacity and site activity levels. Find out more in our waste oil disposal and recycling guide.
Can I monitor the oil level remotely?
Some models support level sensors or remote monitoring systems. These are especially useful for large sites or when tanks are in hard-to-access areas.

Delivery is typically within 5 working days for standard in-stock models. Custom-built tanks may have longer lead times depending on specifications and availability. Availability timeframes are shown on each product.
