Proposals to extend the controlled waste regime in Scotland were published today in "Farm wastes and non-mineral wastes from farms and quarries". They include measures to bring non-mineral wastes from mines and quarries and farm wastes within the regulations covering all other waste in Scotland. They also make it an offence to treat, keep or dispose of household wastes in a manner likely to cause pollution of the environment or harm to human health.
