# Who collects waste diesel from insurers and loss adjusters?

In brief

City Fuel Services collects waste diesel from insurers and loss adjusters across England, Wales and mainland Scotland, from whatever the policyholder has: tanks, vehicles and drums. Call [07950 582635](tel:+447950582635) or [send an enquiry](https://cityfuel.services/enquiry/).

## Booking a collection of waste diesel

We need five things: who and where you are, how much waste diesel there is, what it is and anything mixed in, how it is stored and reached, and whether this is a one-off.

## Rules at insurers

Claims usually need evidence of what was removed, how much, and where it went.

## How City Fuel Services handles waste diesel

We collect waste diesel from cans and drums up to bulk tanks, across England, Wales and mainland Scotland, from our licensed site in Droylsden, Manchester. Terms, a rebate or a charge, are agreed before collection.

## Diesel in brief

Diesel is a middle-distillate fuel refined from crude oil for compression-ignition engines. Waste diesel is one of the more valuable waste fuels because most of a typical load is recoverable.
