The Agricultural Waste Regulations came into force in May 2006. How these regulations will affect your business will depend upon the type and scale of your business. The regulations affect whether or not you can burn, bury, store, use your waste on farm, or send it elsewhere to be dealt with.

You can store your waste, securely for up to 12 months and then;

• Take the waste to a recovery or disposal site yourself
• Give the waste to someone else who is licensed to dispose of it or transport it for disposal. In this case you have a Duty of Care and need to complete a transfer note and keep a copy for your records
• Register licence exemptions (by May 15 th 2007)
• Obtain a Waste Management Licence (WML) or a Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) Permit
