Before you start
Important information on waste codes and descriptions.
In your deployment application, for each waste, you will need to give:
- the list of waste (LoW) code
- a waste description
You must use the waste code and description given in your permit.
Include in your benefit statement additional information about the waste such as:
- where the waste came from
- the production process
- if the waste is an animal by-product
Check if you can use the low risk waste positions: landspreading for your activity. You must be able to meet all of the conditions.
The waste codes and descriptions given in this guidance match those listed in the:
- the mobile plant landspreading permits SR2010 No 4, SR2010 No 5 and SR2010 No 6
- any waste exemption relevant to landspreading
Use the waste codes and descriptions given in this guidance and in your permit. They include waste codes ending in ‘99’ which are wastes ‘not otherwise specified’.
The waste producer will use the Waste classification technical guidance or Replacing the use of ‘not otherwise specified’ waste codes: RPS 241.
In the future, the Environment Agency will change the waste codes and descriptions in the 3 landspreading mobile plant standard rules permits, exemptions and some low risk waste positions. After we have done this we will update this guidance.
