Farm Waste Management

Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal of
farm wastes such as hays, weeds, twigs, plant materials, and the like. Moreover,
dangerous and hazardous wastes need to dispose and handle properly like containers
of pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, empty sacks, used polyethylene bags and plastic
sachets.
In addition, waste management includes preparation and implementation of a
Management Plan -the program that will reduce the risk of pollution and avoid the
loss of essential nutrients from the farm itself. This includes two elements:
1. Farm Waste Checklist Completed for Farm. This is a checklist to identify the
remedial work and improvements in management practices required to ensure a high
level of farm waste management.
2. Completed Farm Waste Location Plan. This plan is a copy of the farm map showing
the areas of the farm that are suitable and unsuitable for the distribution of farm
waste.
