Local Scottish red diesel disposal in Arisaig
red diesel to shift in Arisaig? One call to 01295 380724 sorts it. Someone comes to wherever the fuel is across Arisaig, empties the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks for residue and hands you the waste transfer note before leaving. Most jobs are 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre, and often done the same day.
You cannot legally pour red diesel away or bin it — it is hazardous waste, so it is collected under licence and the transfer note is your proof it was handled correctly.

About red diesel disposal in Arisaig
Because red diesel is rebated fuel, what you may do with it is tightly controlled, and the 2022 reform cut the list of permitted users to mainly agriculture and a few others. That has left plenty of firms with red diesel they can no longer use lawfully.
Where a tank has to hold road diesel next, we remove the red diesel and can clean the vessel so residual dye does not contaminate the new fuel. Otherwise a fuel test could still show red long after the switch.
Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the red diesel goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Arisaig is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.

Common questions
Do you dispose of 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.
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.
Do you take contaminated red diesel?
Yes — rebated fuel spoiled by water, sludge or bug is collected and disposed of the same way as any contaminated diesel, with documentation.
How is the price worked out?
Per litre against the volume and access, quoted before travel. Give us the rough litres in the tank or bowser when you call.
