About red diesel disposal in Forestmill
Red diesel sits at the awkward junction of tax law and waste law. The marker dye tells HMRC the fuel was rebated; using it outside the permitted cases is an offence, and the dye lingers in a tank long after the fuel has gone.
Keeping the transfer note matters here more than most. If entitlement or disposal is ever questioned, that document is the clean answer showing where the rebated fuel went and when.
The disposal side is the paperwork and the destination. The red diesel is routed to a licensed facility, processed or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note so you can show it was dealt with lawfully.
The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Forestmill, the fuel is routed to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction, and the paper trail is the point: your duty of care is discharged by evidence, not assurances.

Common questions
Do you dispose of red diesel in Forestmill?
Yes — across Forestmill and the rest of Clackmannanshire. 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.
