The rules treat old red diesel as hazardous waste, so removal and disposal go through licensed channels with documentation — the clean, legal alternative to tipping it.

About red diesel disposal in Dalserf
The dye in red diesel is the whole point of it: it marks fuel that has paid less duty because it is meant for agriculture and a few other off-road uses. The 2022 rules narrowed those uses sharply, so stock that can no longer be used has to be removed by someone licensed.
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.
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.
Disposal closes the duty-of-care loop for a site in Dalserf: permitted facility, lawful handling, and a transfer note that answers the only question that matters if anyone asks — where did it go and can you show it.

Common questions
Do you dispose of red diesel in Dalserf?
Yes — across Dalserf and the rest of South Lanarkshire. 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.
