Farm wastes require special care. They can cause health risks and may affect soil and water quality if stored or disposed of in the wrong way. A few effective ways to deal with farm wastes include:
- Reusing as much material and equipment as possible and recycling whenever possible
- Taking other waste material to a licensed landfill site which are controlled and carefully monitored to prevent soil and water contamination
- Composting organic waste material such as manure, leaves, light brush and dead animals or portions of dead animals not exceeding 100 kg (220 lbs)
