Diesel & Waste Fuel Disposal
We safely remove and dispose of diesel, waste oil and contaminated fuel from farms, homes and businesses - helping you clear old tanks responsibly and in full compliance with environmental law.
Done Properly. Fully Documented.
Old diesel, waste oil, or contaminated fuel - we clear it safely
Many farms, homes and businesses find themselves with tanks of old diesel, contaminated fuel, or waste oil that can no longer be used. Whether the fuel has degraded, been contaminated with water, or a tank is being decommissioned, the contents cannot simply be poured away or left in situ - they must be removed and disposed of properly under UK hazardous waste regulations.
Our team handles diesel and waste oil removal across Southern Scotland and Northern England. We pump out the fuel, transport it to a licensed disposal facility, and provide you with a waste transfer note - so you stay compliant and the job is done correctly.
Whether you are a farmer clearing old red diesel, a business with a tank being decommissioned, or a homeowner with old heating oil you no longer need, we can help.
Why It Matters
This Is Not a Job for a General Contractor
Disposing of diesel and waste oil involves hazardous waste law, environmental risk, and legally required documentation. Here is why using a licensed specialist is non-negotiable.
Classed as hazardous waste
Diesel, waste oil and contaminated fuel are classified as hazardous waste under UK law. They cannot be taken to a household tip or poured away - improper disposal carries significant legal and environmental risk.
SEPA and environmental compliance
In Scotland, SEPA regulations require that fuel removal and disposal is handled by a licensed carrier to prevent environmental contamination. We operate in full compliance with these requirements.
Farms and agricultural sites
Red diesel residues, contaminated gas oil and old agricultural fuel stocks are a common challenge on working farms. We understand rural access and carry the right equipment for agricultural settings.
Full documentation provided
Every fuel removal comes with a waste transfer note confirming the quantity, type, and legal disposal of the material. This is essential for your compliance records and demonstrates due diligence.
