About red diesel disposal in Reawick
A tank that has held red diesel keeps a trace of the dye long after it is emptied, which matters if it is to hold road diesel next. Clearing the stock and cleaning the tank together is what makes it fit for reuse.
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.
The point of disposal is provability. The red diesel ends up at a permitted facility, handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note records the whole movement as your evidence.
Disposal is where duty of care bites. Under the rules the waste is yours until it reaches a permitted facility, so the transfer note issued in Reawick — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned.

Common questions
Do you dispose of red diesel in Reawick?
Yes — across Reawick and the rest of Shetland Islands. 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.
