Booking red diesel collection in Fairwater Cwmbran?

Around 30-60 minutes on site on site, quoted per litre or per job, often same day.
The rules treat old red diesel as hazardous waste, so removal and disposal go through licensed channels with documentation — the clean, legal alternative to tipping it.

About red diesel collection in Fairwater Cwmbran
Red diesel is ordinary diesel dyed to mark it as rebated fuel, taxed lower for permitted off-road uses. Since the 2022 reform stripped many sectors of the entitlement, a lot of businesses have been left holding stock they can no longer legally burn — and the dye stains any tank it sits in.
Where a tank has to hold road diesel next, we remove the red diesel and can clean the vessel so residual dye does not contaminate the new fuel. Otherwise a fuel test could still show red long after the switch.
The lift is the easy part once it is booked — a registered carrier attends, empties the red diesel, checks the vessel and takes it away, with the transfer note issued on site so the chain of custody is clear.
For a collection in Fairwater Cwmbran the useful things to have ready are the volume in litres and how the tank or cans are reached — a tanker needs different access to a van. With that we quote and book, and the lift itself is quick once the carrier is on site.

Common questions
Do you collect red diesel in Fairwater Cwmbran?
Yes — across Fairwater Cwmbran and the rest of Torfaen. 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.
