Oil tank removal and abandonment companies in Long Island

An independent, hand-verified directory of companies that remove, replace and abandon residential oil tanks in Long Island, New York: from Nassau County in the west, through Suffolk County, to Riverhead, the North Fork, the Hamptons and Shelter Island in the east. Every fact below comes from the company's own website, as recorded in our research. Where a company publishes no address, no rating or no license number on its own site, we say so plainly instead of filling the gap from a directory.

Long Island rules: read this first

In Nassau County, Article XI of the Health Department requires 7 days of notice before tank work, and the county charges public fees for a tank removed or abandoned in place. Those fees are public county fees, not company prices, and they are quoted in the cost guide and labeled as such. Suffolk County has its own tank service regulations and abandonment guidance. Several company sites cite that a residential heating tank under 1,100 gallons, without a leak and outside a groundwater management or water-supply sensitive area, needs no state registration, and that the federal UST regulation excludes heating-oil tanks used on the same premises. That is why this guide shows a license number only where the company publishes one on its own website: none of the 20 companies in this guide publishes a license number on its own site. Every company either states only that it is licensed and insured, without a number, or publishes no license mention at all. A waste-transport permit under NYSDEC Part 364 is not a tank-removal license, and a Design Professional Corporation (DPC) registration is not a tank-removal license either; neither is presented as one here. A website claim of being licensed and insured, without a number, is a claim, not a verified credential: ask the company for its license number and verify it yourself with the county.

What the research found

• 20 companies with their own websites, approved one by one.
• 0 of the 20 publish a license number on their own website. All license mentions found were claims without a number, or no mention at all (for example Eastern Environmental Solutions on one of its pages, Maximum Environmental Management, Petro Home Services on its Hicksville page, and Cherokee Contracting).
• Only 1 of the 20 publishes a rating with a review count on its own website: Long Island Oil Tank Service, with a figure and a count in its site footer, while another section of the same site shows a higher figure without a count. That conflict is noted on its profile. Every other profile shows no rating with a count.
• 0 of the 20 publish a fixed tank-removal price on their own website. The only dollar figures found are ranges, averages, discounts, coupons, guarantees and public fees, quoted in the cost guide and labeled as such.
• Service-area companies serve Long Island but publish no street address on their own site. They are marked as such: 5 of the 20 (M&W Environmental Solutions, All Island Comfort, Hempstead Oil to Gas, Oil Tank Abandonment Long Island and Domino's Oil Tank Service). The other 15 publish a street address, or an address shown on a second domain of the same business in the case of Windmill Oil Tank Service.
• Shelter Island is expressly named by only 1 of the 20 on its own site: Oil Tank Abandonment Long Island. Most companies claim a county or Long Island in general without naming every town.
• Domino Fuel and Domino's Oil Tank Service share the Domino brand but publish different phones, different domains and different addresses, and no own site clarifies whether they are the same company with two sites or two companies. They are listed separately here, with the possible-duplicate note explicit, and are not merged.
• Cherokee Contracting is included ONLY as an abandonment entry, clearly labeled ABANDONMENT ONLY. Its own site lists oil tank abandonment but does not list oil tank removal, so it must not be presented as a verified removal company.
• Some companies are ancillary, not pure removal specialists: Hempstead Oil to Gas and All Island Mechanical offer old-tank removal only within oil-to-gas conversions; All Island Comfort is general HVAC and plumbing with tank work as a secondary line; Petro Home Services of Hicksville is a general fuel company serving only southern Nassau County, and Suffolk is not named on its page; Levittown Oil Tank Services does not expressly name Suffolk on its site either; Maximum Environmental Management is listed with a weak-verification note, because its own site lists tank removal only as a heading without process detail.
• Burt's Reliable covers the North Fork only. It must not be presented as verified South Fork or Hamptons coverage.
• Companies that could not be verified from their own websites were left out of this guide before review, including informational and lead-generation sites that do not perform removal work directly and testing-only firms that expressly do not remove tanks; no company was excluded during the one-by-one review, and all 20 presented companies were approved.

The yard, back to normal

Many older Long Island homes still heat with oil stored in buried steel tanks, and those tanks are removed, replaced or formally abandoned as they age. Once a tank comes out, the excavation is backfilled and the yard is restored and reseeded.
