About red diesel collection in Devonside
A tank that has held red diesel keeps a trace of the dye long after it is emptied, which matters if it is to hold road diesel next. Clearing the stock and cleaning the tank together is what makes it fit for reuse.
The same ageing problems apply: water, sludge and bug can spoil red diesel in store just as they spoil white. Contaminated rebated stock is collected and disposed of rather than risked in a machine.
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.
For collection in Devonside the carrier comes to the fuel rather than the other way round. With the litres and access confirmed, the visit is quick, the vessel is left checked, and the transfer note is your proof it was lifted properly.

Common questions
Do you collect red diesel in Devonside?
Yes — across Devonside and the rest of Clackmannanshire. 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.
