## Selling waste diesel in Hitchin: what we need

Send us five details: your business name (or name) and the collection postcode; roughly how much waste diesel 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.

## Is waste diesel in Hitchin worth anything?

Waste diesel is one of the more valuable waste fuels because most of a typical load is recoverable. Volume, water content, contamination and how easily it can be pumped decide the terms. We never publish prices, because every load and every day is different: for an actual figure, call 07950 582635 or send an enquiry.

## Rules for waste diesel in England

In England the Environment Agency regulates hazardous waste. Producers no longer have to register (that ended in 2016), every load moves on a hazardous waste consignment note kept for three years, and since 1 October 2026 permitted sites that receive the waste report it through Digital Waste Tracking.
