How to dispose of old diesel?

[muppets_mate]

Hi

I don't know if this is the best forum to ask, but thought it might be visited by people used to working on their cars and dealing with the associated waste parts and fluids.

I have around 25 litres of old diesel that I am looking to dispose of responsibly. It came out of a car that had been off the road for a few years.

The council recycling centre says they will not take it and neither will the local car breakers yards I contacted - I thought they might as they have to deal with the fluids that they take out of the cars as part of the decontamination process.

I'm hoping PHers might have some helpful ideas?

Post it on facebook for 99p - the phone won't stop.

If you were near me I'd take it for my garage space-heater, it seems to happy with just about anything. Any garages/ workshops nearby?

^ This.
Or put it back where it came from and do what they'll do with it.

This very much, stick it in a jerry can or similar and put on FB as free- it will go faster than you could believe, petrol too

Our council does free hazardous waste collection, check if yours does. You book and they collect.

Mine does too, but it doesn't cover petrol or diesel.

Leave it in a canister next to your car with diesel written on it. It’ll get pinched


My dad claims his mate had a broken fridge, left it out for the scrap man, no one took it. Stuck £50 sign on it, got pinched over night
