Keeping mixed fuel worth collecting in Windermere
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 Windermere 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 Windermere
Should I keep petrol and diesel separate?
If your set-up allows it, yes, but mixed fuel is what most dismantlers around Windermere produce, and we collect it as it is.
Is mixed fuel from Windermere 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*.
Do you buy mixed fuel in Windermere?
Often, yes. Mixed petrol and diesel usually still has recoverable value, so a load from Windermere can earn a rebate once it has been assessed.
