## About old petrol disposal in Troedyrhiw Merthyr Tydfil
Petrol does not keep. Left in a tank or a can for more than a few months it oxidises, the lighter fractions evaporate and it drops octane, so an engine that starts on it at all runs rough and pinks. The gums and varnish it leaves behind then clog carburettors, injectors and fuel lines.

People often ask whether a splash of fresh fuel or an additive will revive it. Lightly stale petrol can sometimes be diluted and used in a mower or similar, but anything cloudy, separated or months old is best removed rather than nursed into an engine you care about.

Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The petrol is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal.

For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Troedyrhiw Merthyr Tydfil 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 old petrol in Troedyrhiw Merthyr Tydfil?**
Yes — across Troedyrhiw Merthyr Tydfil and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old petrol and issues a waste transfer note on site.

**Can old petrol be recycled?**
Once collected it goes to a licensed facility where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing is handled for you and documented on the transfer note.

Anything from a single can to a full vehicle tank or a bulk store. Tell us the rough volume in litres and you get a price before anyone travels.

**Is a small amount still worth collecting?**
Yes. Even a can or two is safer removed than left in a garage, and it is lifted with a transfer note the same as a larger volume.

Yes — petrol mixed with diesel, oil or other fuel is collected and disposed of the same way. Just say what is in it when you call.
