About red diesel disposal in Dingwall
Red diesel is ordinary diesel dyed to mark it as rebated fuel, taxed lower for permitted off-road uses. Since the 2022 reform stripped many sectors of the entitlement, a lot of businesses have been left holding stock they can no longer legally burn — and the dye stains any tank it sits in.
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.
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.
Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Dingwall goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully.

Common questions
Do you dispose of red diesel in Dingwall?
Yes — across Dingwall 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.
