About red diesel collection in Montenotte
Red diesel is ordinary diesel dyed to mark it as rebated fuel, taxed lower for permitted off-road uses. Since the 2022 reform stripped many sectors of the entitlement, a lot of businesses have been left holding stock they can no longer legally burn — and the dye stains any tank it sits in.
Where a tank has to hold road diesel next, we remove the red diesel and can clean the vessel so residual dye does not contaminate the new fuel. Otherwise a fuel test could still show red long after the switch.
At collection a carrier comes to the red diesel wherever it sits, draws it out, checks for residue in the tank or cans, and carries it away — the transfer note recording exactly what was lifted.
A collection runs to a booked slot rather than a wait. We confirm the price and window against the litres and access in Montenotte, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions
Do you collect red diesel in Montenotte?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Montenotte and the rest of Cork. They attend, lift the red diesel and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.
Why cannot I just use up my red diesel?
Since the 2022 reform most sectors outside agriculture lost the entitlement to use rebated red diesel. Using it outside the permitted cases is an offence, so surplus stock is best removed and disposed of properly.
Does the red dye matter for disposal?
The dye marks the fuel as rebated and lingers in a tank. For disposal it is handled as hazardous waste like any diesel, but the documentation matters for HMRC as well as the regulator.
Can you clear a tank so it is dye-free?
We remove the red diesel and can clean the tank so it is fit to hold road diesel again. Any residual dye is dealt with as part of the tank clean.
Will I get paperwork for HMRC?
You get a waste transfer note recording what was collected and where it went. That is your evidence of compliant disposal for both HMRC and the regulator.
