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.
