About red diesel collection in Colcot Barry
Two clocks run on stored red diesel at once. Like any diesel it ages, waters and bugs; unlike white diesel, it also carries a rebate marker that HMRC takes seriously, so both the fuel and the paperwork have to be dealt with cleanly.
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.
At collection a carrier comes to the red diesel wherever it sits, draws it out, checks for residue in the tank or cans, and carries it away — the transfer note recording exactly what was lifted.
Booking a collection is the easy part. Tell us the fuel, the rough litres and where the tank, bowser or cans sit in Colcot Barry, and we set a window and a price before anyone travels. On the day the carrier pumps it out, checks the vessel and leaves you the transfer note.

Common questions
Do you collect red diesel in Colcot Barry?
Yes — across Colcot Barry and the rest of Vale of Glamorgan. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the red diesel and issues a waste transfer note on site.
Why cannot I just use up my red diesel?
Since the 2022 reform most sectors outside agriculture lost the entitlement to use rebated red diesel. Using it outside the permitted cases is an offence, so surplus stock is best removed and disposed of properly.
Does the red dye matter for disposal?
The dye marks the fuel as rebated and lingers in a tank. For disposal it is handled as hazardous waste like any diesel, but the documentation matters for HMRC as well as the regulator.
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.
