Clearing old fuel stock in Abercarn
Road diesel can contain up to 7% biodiesel, which takes up water and breaks down over time; E10 petrol can separate as its ethanol absorbs water. Old fuel may not be usable, but much of it can still be recovered.
Welsh rules apply in Abercarn: loads travel on a hazardous waste consignment note, and a site producing or storing more than 500 kg of hazardous waste a year registers with Natural Resources Wales.
Questions about redundant fuel collection in Abercarn
How much notice do you need for a site closure in Abercarn?
As much as you can give. Tell us the date the fuel must be gone and we plan around it.
Does old fuel in Abercarn have any value?
Often, yes. Fuel that is no longer fit to use can still hold recoverable hydrocarbons; age, water and contamination reduce what it is worth.
Can you empty a tank that is being taken out of use?
Yes, we remove the fuel. Tell us the tank size, what is in it and your deadline.
