One call to 01295 380724 sorts it. Someone comes to wherever the fuel is across Waterside, empties the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks for residue and hands you the waste transfer note before leaving. Most jobs are 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre, and often done the same day. This is hazardous waste in law, which is why it is pumped out, carried under a registered carrier and disposed of properly rather than tipped or left.

That has left plenty of firms with red diesel they can no longer use lawfully. 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 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. 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 Waterside — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned. ## Local Scottish red diesel disposal in Waterside: the facts Fuel | Red diesel | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | East Ayrshire | Postcode districts | KA6 | 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 Waterside The red diesel we collect and dispose of in and around Waterside tends to come from businesses caught between rule changes that simply need stranded red-diesel stock removed and documented.

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. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
