Keeping mixed fuel worth collecting in Dunbar
Keep lids and caps on so rain cannot get in, and never pour oil, coolant or AdBlue into the fuel container. Even a little petrol makes the whole mix highly flammable, so store it away from ignition sources.
In Dunbar, as across Scotland, waste fuel is special waste under SEPA's rules, and copies of the consignment notes are kept for three years.
Questions about mixed fuel collection in Dunbar
Where does mixed fuel in Dunbar usually come from?
Mostly from vehicle depollution, where petrol and diesel drain into the same container, and from garages draining misfuelled vehicles.
Should I keep petrol and diesel separate?
If your set-up allows it, yes, but mixed fuel is what most dismantlers around Dunbar produce, and we collect it as it is.
Is mixed fuel from Dunbar hazardous waste?
Yes. Mixed petrol and diesel is hazardous waste, or special waste in Scotland, and moves on a consignment note, usually coded 13 07 03*.
