About old diesel disposal in Irishtown
Diesel left standing in a tank, a bowser or a machine gradually degrades: darker colour, dropping sediment, and the real menace, diesel bug wherever water and fuel meet. That sludge blocks filters and starves engines.
Once lifted, old diesel goes to a permitted facility for recovery or safe disposal, documented on a transfer note. For farms and businesses that paperwork is the duty-of-care evidence that the fuel was dealt with lawfully.
The point of disposal is provability. The diesel ends up at a permitted facility, handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note records the whole movement as your evidence.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Irishtown is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old diesel in Irishtown?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Irishtown and the rest of Dublin. They attend, lift the old diesel and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.
Can contaminated diesel be cleaned instead of removed?
Polishing can recover lightly contaminated diesel, but heavily bugged or watered fuel is usually removed and the tank cleaned. We can advise once we know the state of it.
Will you empty a farm or bulk tank?
Yes — domestic, farm, estate and commercial bulk tanks, bowsers and drums. Give us the volume in litres and the access and you get a price and a slot before we travel.
Do you clean the tank as well?
We remove the fuel and can arrange a tank clean where the bug or sludge means the vessel needs it before reuse. Tell us the condition when you call.
How quickly can old diesel be collected?
Often the same day for accessible sites, otherwise a booked slot. The quote and window are confirmed before anyone travels.
