About red diesel disposal in Thornhill Cwmbran
A tank that has held red diesel keeps a trace of the dye long after it is emptied, which matters if it is to hold road diesel next. Clearing the stock and cleaning the tank together is what makes it fit for reuse.
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.
Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The red diesel is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal.
Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Thornhill Cwmbran goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully.
