Waste includes sources of nutrients such as manure, slurry and fertilizer runoff.
It should be reused, recycled or disposed of safely.
Waste management includes the following:
- Safe storage, recycling and disposal of waste, such as dead livestock, plastic silage wrap, plastic, containers and expired chemicals. This helps prevent pollution, disease and breeding sites for flies and vermin.
- Effective handling, application and storage of manure, silage and synthetic fertilisers. This maximises on-farm nutrient cycling, while reducing pollution and increasing profit.
- Placing dumps, manure heaps and other waste sites at least 32m from water sources or natural habitats to avoid polluting them.
- Timing application of reused waste such as slurry so that soil conditions enable maximum infiltration. The soil should be moist, but not waterlogged or frozen.
- Complying with the relevant waste management laws.
