Waste diesel fuel disposal

[jjaack]

Ring your local mechanic,
I'm sure I remember talking to garage owner who said it was taken away and that he didn't pay for this service.
I also forget lots of things though : )

I appear to have a diesel problem as I've come to the boat for the first time since lockdown to discover 10l of diesel in the bilge. I'll investigate the source of the problem tomorrow when I feel less queasy but for now I have 10l of dirty diesel/ water in 2x5l water containers. The local tip says they don't take diesel. The marina have no idea what to do with it but say it can't go in the waste oil. Suggestions which don't involve things I don't have like a farmer or filters, or transporting to anyway further than a long walk from Brighton marina? If the only option is to pay a garage for disposal, anyone know how much it should cost?

the waste oil tank is exactly where it should go, why the marina is being stupid is another question; no doubt whoever they contract to empty the tank whines about water content but only because it reduces their profit margin.
