About red diesel collection in Terenure
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.
The 2022 change is the reason for a lot of these calls. Sectors that lost the entitlement — construction, plant hire, many commercial users — were left with red diesel they could no longer put in a machine, and the compliant answer is removal and documented disposal.
What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the red diesel, inspect the empty vessel, and carry it away for you — all covered by the transfer note issued before the carrier leaves.
Collections in Terenure are booked, priced and windowed up front. The carrier brings the pump, empties the tank, bowser or cans, checks for residue, and hands over the transfer note — you keep it, and that is the job done.

Common questions
Do you collect red diesel in Terenure?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Terenure and the rest of Dublin. 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.
