Rules on Agricultural Waste
Agricultural waste regulations affect whether or not you
can burn, bury, store, use your waste on the farm or send it
elsewhere.
You must not use your farm tip or bury your waste unless you
have registered for exemption.
What is waste and do I produce it on my
farm?
As householders and businesses, we all produce waste in one
form or another. The EC Waste Framework Directive defines
waste as: "any substance or object which the holder discards or
intends or is required to discard"
You DO produce waste on your farm.
There is no definitive list of agricultural waste but the the
Environment Agency
website has some common examples that can be waste when you
get rid of them (or need to get rid of them, for example, out of
date medicines).
For further information on the Agricultural Waste Regulations
and how they effect you. visit the Environment Agency
website.
