Importance of compliant agricultural waste management


The Waste Management (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 were amended to class agricultural waste as controlled waste – meaning it must be managed the same as industrial and commercial waste. This means any hazardous waste you produce, must be segregated into the appropriate containers for it to be collected and treated responsibly. These collections must be carried out by a licensed hazardous waste management service such as Wastecare.

Most of the waste produced by the agricultural sector, namely chemicals and contaminated packaging, can inflict significant damage to the environment if not managed correctly. It is a company’s legal responsibility, alongside their corporate environmental responsibility, to reduce, reuse, and recycle their hazardous waste streams at all times.

We can provide advice on how to remain compliant, support in classifying your waste streams, and provide a bespoke collection solution for your company.
