Is mixed fuel contaminated with chemicals worth anything?

In brief

Chemical contamination usually removes most or all of the value, and the load may carry a charge. Waste mixed fuel can earn a rebate or carry a collection charge, depending on its volume, quality, contamination and access, and on the oil market on the day. Call 07950 582635 or send an enquiry.

Can mixed fuel contaminated with chemicals be recovered?

Often not. Depending on what went in, the load may be non-recoverable and go for treatment rather than recovery.

Getting a figure for mixed fuel contaminated with chemicals

We never publish prices, because every load and every day is different: for an actual figure, call 07950 582635 or send an enquiry. Send us five details: your business name (or name) and the collection postcode; roughly how much waste mixed fuel there is; what it is and any contamination; how it is stored and how a vehicle reaches it; and whether you need one collection or regular ones.

How City Fuel Services handles waste mixed fuel

Every load of waste mixed fuel is assessed before anything is booked. Tell us the quantity, the containers and any contamination; we confirm the terms, collect with a suitable vehicle, and take it to a permitted facility on a consignment note.

Terms used in this answer

Rebate: A payment from City Fuel Services to you for fuel that still has recoverable value, agreed after assessment and before collection.
Collection charge: What you pay when a load costs more to collect and process than the fuel in it is worth, for example a small or heavily contaminated load.
