Article 30(1)(g) of the Waste Management (Collection Permit) Regulations 2007, provides that the requirement to hold a waste collection permit shall not apply to “the collection and transport of animal by-products, other than catering waste”. In this regard, “manure” is a Category 2 animal by-product and is defined in Article 3(20) of the Animal By-products Regulation ( (EC) No. 1069/2009) as meaning “any excrement and/or urine of farmed animals other than farmed fish, with or without litter”. Accordingly, the collection and transport of manure is exempted from the requirement to hold a waste collection permit, but is subject to the requirements of animal by-product legislation.
