Agricultural waste is any substance or object from premises used for agriculture or horticulture, which the holder discards, intends to discard or is required to discard. It is waste specifically generated by agricultural activities.

For example, waste which came from a farm shop or a vegetable packing plant would not be agricultural waste.

Some examples of agricultural waste are:

    empty pesticide containers;

    old silage wrap;

    out of date medicines and wormers;

    used tyres;

    surplus milk.
