AWSM Recycling Ltd specialise in the recycling of waste and by-products to land. Given our farming background and expert staff, we have an unrivalled expertise in all aspects of this specialised area. Furthermore, AWSM apply wastes and by-products to our own farm land to replace artificial fertilisers and thus see the benefits of recovering these materials for agricultural benefit first hand.

Partnering with AWSM will ensure that Land Spread Permits and Deployments are effectively managed and protocols are in place to ensure the necessary records are maintained to demonstrate compliance with Environmental Regulations.
Background Information
An environmental permit or waste exemption is needed to supply, store or use waste material and for some activities, a specific deployment is needed to spread the waste. Having an agreed deployment means that the material has been assessed to make sure that it provides an agricultural benefit at a specific location and application rate whilst not harming the environment.
Any person or business accepting waste are bound by a ‘duty of care’ to ensure that the waste they are accepting meets the necessary legal requirements. If material is not as described on the deployment, associated waste transfer note, permit or exemption, the material should not be accepted onto farm / site.
Depositing unsuitable materials onto farmland could leave you with expensive clean-up costs, or even facing prosecution.
