Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 1 October 2026 ## About red diesel disposal in Banchory 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. 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. Once lifted, the red diesel is disposed of through a licensed route — recovered where it can be, destroyed where it cannot — and every step is captured on the waste transfer note you keep. Disposal is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Banchory reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word. ## Local Scottish red diesel disposal in Banchory: the facts Fuel | Red diesel | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Aberdeenshire | Postcode districts | AB31 | 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 | Collected and disposed of under licence | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where red diesel comes from around Banchory We collect and dispose of red diesel across Banchory from plant-hire fleets rationalising fuel stores, and quarry or forestry sites winding down.
