Keeping mixed fuel worth collecting in Hawick
Treat mixed fuel like petrol: a small share of petrol lowers the flash point of the whole mix far below normal air temperatures. Book collections before containers fill, rather than after.
Hawick is in Scotland, where waste fuel is special waste regulated by SEPA. Each load moves on a special waste consignment note with a SEPA-issued code.

Do you buy mixed fuel in Hawick?
