In order to bring UK regulations in line with that prescribed by the EU Waste Framework Directive (Council Directive 75/442/EEC) the Waste Management (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 (known as the Agricultural Waste Regulations) will apply to agricultural waste on 15 May 2006.

Farmers will have 5 basic options for dealing with their waste, which can be used on their own or in combination:

Store their waste on-farm for up to 12 months.

Take their waste for recycling or disposal off-farm at a licensed site.

Get an authorised waste contractor to take their waste away.

Register license exemptions with the Environment Agency to recycle or dispose of their waste on-farm. Farmers can register at any stage during the first 12 months of the Regulations.

Apply to the Environment Agency for a waste management license or a landfill permit to recycle or dispose of their waste on-farm. For most farmers obtaining a landfill permit for their farm dump will not be a viable option because of the engineering requirements and costs involved.
