The EA are consulting on the proposed new charges to fund regulatory work targeting waste crime from April 2025. For farmers this includes a compliance charge reduction for a set of 15 waste exemptions commonly required by farmers (the ‘common on-farm’ group). Any additional waste exemptions outside the ‘common on-farm’ group will have the same compliance charge as for all other operators. Find out more at: Environment Agency charge proposals for waste crime and hourly rates - GOV.UK.
