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.
