Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 1 October 2026 ## About red diesel disposal in Longbar 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. The same ageing problems apply: water, sludge and bug can spoil red diesel in store just as they spoil white. Contaminated rebated stock is collected and disposed of rather than risked in a machine. Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The red diesel is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal. The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Longbar for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone. ## Local Scottish red diesel disposal in Longbar: the facts Fuel | Red diesel | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | North Ayrshire | Postcode districts | KA14, KA15 | 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 Longbar In Longbar the usual sources of red diesel we collect and dispose of are construction plant and generators demobilised from sites where red diesel is no longer permitted.
