Keeping mixed fuel worth collecting in Hexham
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.
Moving waste fuel from Hexham is covered by the hazardous waste rules for England: a registered carrier, a hazardous waste consignment note for each load, and records kept for three years.
Questions about mixed fuel collection in Hexham
Where does mixed fuel in Hexham 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 Hexham produce, and we collect it as it is.
Is mixed fuel from Hexham 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*.
