for the last few years we have amassed 4000-6000 litres of waste oil per
year.
This is mainly used engine oil from industrial diesels but also a small
percentage of gear oils, hydraulic oils and diesel fuel.
This is stored in ibc's and taken away when all four are filled.
An increasingly costly process.

Does anyone know of an economical way of either using this waste for
heating purposes or a more economical method of disposal.

Garage/workshop heaters for just this purpose were certainly available
once - they usually had to be started on paraffin. Then would burn any old
oil. Probably fallen foul of pollution regs these days - although one I
remember didn't even have a flue to the outside...
