Carcass Disposal

Just interested in what people are doing about carcass disposal these days ........

Current regs allow up to 20
Kg a week I believe. I am fortunate now that I have a licensed person that takes away my waste as and when I need it. Failing that it goes in the freezer until the night before bin day and lobbed in either late night or before the bin goes.
 
a) Head, legs & innards at scene, into high crops or a convenient ditch or similar.

b) Hide, bones and detritus in household waste.

Disposing of deer waste (gralloch, offal, or carcasses) directly into a watercourse is strictly illegal and a serious pollution/biosecurity offense.

:doh:

Why would you chuck the waste into "high crops"? That sounds like the sort of behaviour that's likely to result in you being kicked off the ground in short order. That would certainly be the case if they were my crops!
 
We're now on 3 weekly collections 🙄
So are we. I'm in favour of it. Recycling and kitchen waste is still collected weekly. It's just the general waste bin that's on 3 week intervals. People are now taking much more care over sorting their waste and recycling as much as possible. Managing and reducing waste is a shared responsibility, and the consumer needs to accept their share of that responsibility.

I do recall some objections when 3 week collections were mooted, on the basis that it would result in an increase in fly tipping, but that fear doesn't appear to have materialised in this area. I cannot speak for elsewhere.

The biggest problem is people are lazy and messy, sorting waste is too much effort so moan the council wont pick up the slack.
THe litter on the roads is disgusting, i hope fly tipping doesnt get worse

In this area, I think people have embraced the concept of better waste management, which is good. Of course there were grumblings initially, but that seems to be a fairly common human response to any proposed change. Once the change is adopted, and people have adapted, everything settles down and the benefits become apparent.

They’re not watercourses.

A ditch is a water course that is how water is run off the land :doh:
Not far from my house on 2 separate farms the "ditches" either side of single track roads 1 ditch runs to the River Blackwater the other runs to the River Crouch ;) They all have "land drains" that feed them otherwise the land would flood.

  • Definition: A long, narrow open channel or trench dug into the ground, typically along the side of a road or field.
