Clearing the stock and cleaning the tank together is what makes it fit for reuse. 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. Collection puts the burden on the carrier, not you: they attend, pump out the red diesel, inspect what held it and remove it under licence, leaving the transfer note behind as evidence. For collection in Hillside 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. ## Local Scottish red diesel collector in Hillside: the facts Fuel | Red diesel | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Angus | Why it degrades | Ages like diesel, plus a legal marker dye that stains tanks | Typical sources | Farms, plant, generators, bowsers, decommissioned tanks, closing businesses | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | SEPA | Typical cost | Quoted per litre | Attendance | Booked collection, often same day | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where red diesel comes from around Hillside Most of the red diesel we collect near Hillside originates in sold or dispersed farms, closing depots and yards, and decommissioned bulk tanks holding rebated fuel.

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. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
