Manure Heaps: Developments in Waste Management Licensing for Farm Waste in the UK

DEFRA ISSUES GUIDANCE ON MANURE HEAPS (May 2005)

Guidance has been issued as part of the recent changes to the waste management exemptions made by the Waste Management Licensing (England and Wales) (Amendment and related provisions) Regulations 2005. Click here for background information.

Defra has issued guidance clarifying that provided a heap is purely manure then there will be no requirement for either an exemption or a waste management licence.

See more about manure and Waste Management Licensing at the DEFRA web site.
