About red diesel disposal in Kingussie
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.
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.
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 is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Kingussie reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word.

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