Local Welsh red diesel disposal in Newtown
red diesel to shift in Newtown? One call to 01295 380724 sorts it. Someone comes to wherever the fuel is across Newtown, 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 or per job, and often done the same day.
Old red diesel is hazardous waste, so it leaves under licence and with paperwork — not down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin.

About red diesel disposal in Newtown
Red diesel sits at the awkward junction of tax law and waste law. The marker dye tells HMRC the fuel was rebated; using it outside the permitted cases is an offence, and the dye lingers in a tank long after the fuel has gone.
The 2022 change is the reason for a lot of these calls. Sectors that lost the entitlement — construction, plant hire, many commercial users — were left with red diesel they could no longer put in a machine, and the compliant answer is removal and documented disposal.
Safe disposal routes the red diesel to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction and documents it, so the duty of care sits with a paper trail rather than with you guessing.
For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Newtown 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 red diesel in Newtown?
Yes — across Newtown and the rest of Powys. 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.
