Keeping mixed fuel worth collecting in Morecambe
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.
In England, where Morecambe is, waste fuel is hazardous waste regulated by the Environment Agency. You complete your part of the consignment note on the day and keep it with your records for three years.
Questions about mixed fuel collection in Morecambe
Do you buy mixed fuel in Morecambe?
Often, yes. Mixed petrol and diesel usually still has recoverable value, so a load from Morecambe can earn a rebate once it has been assessed.
Where does mixed fuel in Morecambe 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 Morecambe produce, and we collect it as it is.
