About red diesel collection in Friockheim
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.
Farms clearing surplus, sold or dispersed holdings, and contractors caught by the rule change are the typical jobs. Volume ranges from a part-full bowser to a full bulk tank, quoted per litre against the access.
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.
The practical side of a collection is access and volume. Once we know both for the site in Friockheim, the carrier attends on a booked slot, pumps the fuel out and documents it, often the same day for reachable tanks.

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