About red diesel collection in Arisaig
The problem people bring us with red diesel is usually legal as much as practical: stranded stock after the entitlement changes, a tank that needs to be dye-free before reuse, or fuel from a business that has closed.
Disposal of red diesel is handled as hazardous waste like any diesel, but the documentation carries extra weight: the transfer note is evidence for HMRC as well as the environmental regulator that rebated stock was disposed of and not diverted.
Collecting the red diesel means bringing the equipment to you rather than moving the fuel yourself. The carrier draws it out of the tank or cans, checks for residue and takes it off site, documented on a transfer note.
What makes a collection in Arisaig smooth is knowing the access: whether a tanker can get to the tank, or the drums have to be carried out. Give us that and the volume on the call and the quote and window are fixed before travel.

Common questions
Do you collect red diesel in Arisaig?
Yes — across Arisaig and the rest of Highland. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the red diesel and issues a waste transfer note on site.
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.
