I agree mate. Just gave them another comment.

The NCMD has been very slow to react to the threat of green waste. Wasn't it only a few months back that they said they would not be getting involved? :g43: To be fair, it was as far back as 18 months or so ago, they brought it up at a meeting (I can't remember what minutes I read) but there was li...

Excellent stuff BY. I wish you all the best, when you are burning the midnight oil.

Have a look at this Dave

I reckon they do now Donny.... :g42: I had a reply from the countryside alliance today, short and sweet.... "Thank you for your email, This has now been forwarded onto the relevant department." We will wait and see..??? Regards, Lee Nice one Lee and thanks for the other link :g62: :g50:

The exemption licences for farms say that they only have a licence to spread U10, U11 and U13 waste on their fields. This does NOT include MDF or any treated timber.

We have to remember though lads, that just because the NCMD are getting even more active, that they need all our help combined. It doesn't just mean, we leave it to them.

I suppose it depends on the strength of the flyer. But we are willing to listen to any ideas.

From much reading it seems PAS100 only currently applies to bagged domestic green waste/compost. That article Phil linked to above however gives some interesting leads and places to apply pressure eg: DEFRA & European Commission's Joint Research Centre. :g50: More letters & e-mails I reckon...

I don,t think that we have any chance of stopping the spreading of green waste, I think there could be more chance of getting better screening of the wast before shredding. Perhaps that may be the route that we should be taking, rather than getting some farmers backs up in trying to get it stopped ...
