About red diesel disposal in Maybole
Red diesel is chemically much like white diesel — it oxidises, sludges and grows the same bug over time — but it carries a legal marker that changes how it must be handled. You cannot quietly use up stock that has fallen outside the permitted uses.
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.
Safe disposal routes the red diesel to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction and documents it, so the duty of care sits with a paper trail rather than with you guessing.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Maybole is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.

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