Fuel is a controlled waste, and a waste transfer note is issued on site at every collection, so your duty of care under Welsh environmental law is documented. Natural Resources Wales is the regulator north of the border, not the Environment Agency. **How much does fuel disposal cost in Cardiff?** It is priced per litre or per job depending on volume, access and fuel type. You get the figure on the phone before anyone travels — call 01295 380724. **How much can you take in one visit?** Anything from a few drums to a full commercial or farm tank. Domestic collections are usually done in one to two hours; bulk and bunded stores are surveyed and scheduled. **Can you take contaminated, bugged or sludged fuel?** Yes. Water ingress, diesel bug, mixed fuel and tank sludge are all handled, including residue removal and a tank check. **Where does the fuel go?** It leaves with a registered waste carrier and is processed for recycling through licensed channels. It is never poured away or burned off. **Do you cover rural and upland Wales?** Yes. Collections are made across mid Wales, Snowdonia, the Brecon Beacons, the Llŷn peninsula, Anglesey and the Pembrokeshire coast. Remote jobs are quoted with the travel included, so the figure does not change when the technician arrives. ### Other sites in this network Fuel Fixer Wales is part of Stockbridge Capital Holdings › Fuel Fixer International › Fuel Fixer Ltd.
