As I remember it not too long ago due to no/inadequate fire fighting equipment in the AVV hangars any aircraft entering the hangar for any reason had to be defuelled regardless, and in the case of a B747 this usually equated to approx 30,000kg.
As there was/is inadequate tankerage for storing defuellled Jet A1 the only solution was to have it removed as waste, no doubt the waste company paid a fairly good price for this "waste" fuel but who knows.
What happens currently perhaps someone in the know may help with but I could hardly see them "giving" it to JQ but perhaps it is commercially viable given the cost of the stuff these days versus the waste cost.
So until you have the facts you may wish to cut some slack to blow.n.gasket or even better blown may wish to substantiate his/her claims!
