Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

keroseneheater.jpg (10335 bytes)Kerosene

Kerosene is accepted in DOT-approved containers at the HHW Facility by appointment on most Tuesday, Friday and Saturday mornings.

Should you have a kerosene heater that still contains kerosene, you should pour the kerosene into a DOT-approved container in order to transport the kerosene to the HHW Facility in Mount Olive Township. A serious fire and/or explosion hazard exists if the kerosene is transported in a non-DOT-shippable kerosene heater. Travel at your own risk! 

The heater is not a DOT-shippable container and kerosene should not be transported in the heater itself.  Once empty, the heater should be disposed of with the ordinary garbage.
