Sorry, but can you tell me where it says its illegal to dispose of raw meat in your general waste dustbin? I fail to see how this is right, household waste is just that, waste generated by the house, which would surely include raw products being disposed of. Granted different kettle of fish to regularly dumping whole animal carcasses in ones bin but seriously, I find it hard to believe that 'technically' disposing of a chicken carcass in ones bin is not legal.....?
Raw? yes technicly its an issue, cooked it isn't
Its an extremely grey area
The rules stipulate you should dispose of the waste in the area the animal was shot in order to prevent accidental spread of diesise. SO if you drive 50miles to shoot a deer and 50miles home. then you butchere it and the bin man takes it another 30miles to the dump, you have transported the potential diesese 80miles and broken the law.
You should also have taged the waste and recorded its transport to a registered waste site.
However all the rules to enfoce this are related to registered food buisneses?
In theory of course all deer stalkers would be registered as food buisnes if they are selling the deer carcus on to a game dealer.
I am registered as a food business so I had to do the reserch
But if you think I am wrong, answer your own question and phone up your local bin collection company and tell them your dumping deer skin heads legs and skelliton and see what there reaction is.
Getting away with it, does not make it legal
I find it bloody annoying that the whole Deer Initiative Web site is full of articles suggesting you read the "Disposal of deer by products " guide but the actual guide doesent seem to exist.
This I believe is because the whole issue is a potential minefield
