# Who collects red diesel contaminated with AdBlue?

In brief

City Fuel Services collects red diesel contaminated with AdBlue from anyone holding it across England, Wales and mainland Scotland, and assesses each load first. Usually yes. AdBlue settles below the fuel and is separated; the fuel above it is recoverable. Call [07950 582635](tel:+447950582635) or [send an enquiry](https://cityfuel.services/enquiry/).

## Collecting red diesel contaminated with AdBlue: what we need

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

## What red diesel contaminated with AdBlue is worth

AdBlue adds volume without value, so the terms reflect how much of the load is fuel. We never publish prices, because every load and every day is different: for an actual figure, call 07950 582635 or send an enquiry.

## How City Fuel Services handles waste red diesel

City Fuel Services buys, collects and handles waste red diesel for businesses, public bodies, farms and households. Describe the load and we come back with terms before booking the collection.

## Terms used in this answer

**Uplift**: The fuel trade's word for a collection: pumping fuel out of a tank or container and taking it away.
**Waste carrier registration**: Registration with the regulator that allows a business to transport waste. Check it on the public register before handing waste over.
