What Is Sheep Dip Disposal?
Sheep dip is a chemical solution used to protect livestock from external parasites such as Lice, Ticks, Mites, and Blow flies. While highly effective for flock health, sheep dip contains toxic substances that can pose serious risks to water sources and ecosystems if not disposed of properly.
Due to its hazardous nature, sheep dip disposal is strictly regulated under UK environmental laws. It is illegal to pour used sheep dip down drains, onto land without a permit, or into watercourses. Failure to comply with disposal regulations can result in severe penalties, such as fines.
Farmers and agricultural businesses must ensure that their waste sheep dip is disposed of by a licensed waste carrier to prevent environmental contamination and to comply with regulatory requirements.
