We have a 40yd skip (dumpster) in the yard. All of the general farm waste has to go in there. To move it, the haulier needs a waste transfer license and it needs to go to a licensed waste handling facility. All of the plastic spray chemical cans are triple washed on the sprayer and end up in another 40yd skip and again need a waste transfer license to move and need to go to a licensed handling facility, but this is usually a free tip.

Here we have a land fill tax that has made it very expensive to put waste in landfill, mainly because there's hardly any left and to encourage recycling. It has caused some unintended issues with illegally dumped waste.

Anything that can't physically go in a bin or is not suitable such as electricals, furniture or building waste, you have to pay for disposal do ot illegally and get caught and you're in trouble.

I'm still struggling with what you think the costs are fir the combine once the machine is bought there's no more cost, yet the Road Fund Licence is £0 compared to £150 gor my cat, it runs on rebated fuel which is significantly cheaper, there's no annual test and it runs on easier emissions regulations than road vehicles.
