At Mick George, we understand that the agricultural industry faces unique challenges when it comes to waste management.
Agricultural Waste Management Services
From farms and horticultural businesses to forestry and livestock operations, every site generates a wide variety of waste streams; some of which can be hazardous if not handled correctly.
Whether it’s plastic packaging, animal by-products, pesticides, fertilisers, or general green waste, our agricultural waste disposal services are designed to keep your business fully compliant, environmentally responsible, and cost efficient.
Why Agricultural Waste Management Matters
Agriculture plays a vital role in the UK economy, but it also produces significant amounts of waste. Managing this waste responsibly is essential to:
- Protect the environment: preventing soil, air, and water pollution.
- Safeguard public health: by ensuring hazardous materials are disposed of safely.
- Stay compliant with regulations: avoiding costly fines or prosecution.
- Improve sustainability: through recycling, composting, and reusing valuable resources.
With over 43 million tonnes of manure and slurry produced annually in the UK, plus more than 135,000 tonnes of plastic waste from agricultural businesses, having a reliable waste management partner is more important than ever.

Legal Responsibilities and Compliance
Farmers and agricultural businesses in the UK have a legal duty of care under the Waste Management Regulations (2006) and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations. Agricultural waste is classified as controlled waste, the same as commercial and industrial waste.
Failure to comply with these laws can result in significant penalties, including fines and even imprisonment. By outsourcing your waste collection and disposal to Mick George, you can be confident your business is fully compliant with all relevant legislation.
Farm Waste Types We Manage
Agricultural businesses generate a diverse range of waste, such as:
- Animal waste (manure, slurry, faeces)
- Plastics (feed bags, silage wrap, chemical containers)
- Green waste (hedge trimmings, crop residues)
- Hazardous waste (pesticides, sheep dip, oils, brake fluids)
- Medical waste (syringes, medicines, veterinary equipment)
- Food waste from production losses
Each waste type requires different handling methods, from incineration and composting to recycling and reuse. Our team ensures the right solution is applied every time.
