The application of waste to land can have a host of benefits including improving soil organic matter content, off-set manufactured fertiliser requirements and recycling otherwise land-filled materials.
The aim of the leaflet is to raise awareness of farmers Duty of Care when spreading waste to land. By asking the right questions regarding paperwork and visually checking whether the waste is correct or contaminated farmers should ensure they are reducing the risk of spreading the wrong waste. Incorrectly spreading waste can cause environmental problems leading to an unlimited fine, prison sentence or both.
This leaflet now sits alongside our previously published Waste Checklist a handy tick list which ensures the correct questions are asked when accepting waste onto your farm.
