Vaughan Fuel Storage Tank and Water Cistern Tank Removals

Water Storage Tank Removal for commercial clients throughout Vaughan.

In a rapidly developing city like Vaughan, managing "legacy" infrastructure is a critical priority for commercial and institutional property owners. Whether you are redeveloping a site in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC), upgrading a manufacturing facility in Concord, or managing a public building in Woodbridge, abandoned or end-of-life fuel and water tanks represent a major environmental and regulatory liability.

If your Vaughan business or workplace has a water storage tank, cistern, old hot-water boiler, or an abandoned fuel tank that is no longer in use or has passed its service life cycle, it should be removed from the property. These structures often rust and leak over time, posing a significant threat to the local environment. As of 2025, Ontario’s TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) regulations have tightened, requiring the decommissioning of fuel systems that have been out of service for more than three years.

Our team at Eco Metal Recycling Inc. ensures your business remains fully compliant while eliminating the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. We provide professional, worry-free Water and Fuel Tank Removals for commercial, institutional, and agricultural clients throughout Vaughan and the York Region. Using specialized industrial equipment not available to the general public, we safely pump out and dispose of residual fluids and sludge in total accordance with the latest provincial safety codes.

IMPORTANT! VAUGHAN BUSINESS OWNERS - DO NOT TRY AND TAKE OUT YOUR FUEL OR WATER TANK YOURSELF THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGES NOT ONLY TO YOURSELF BUT YOUR WORKPLACE.

Let us remove that old commercial fuel or water tank.
