Closed Ban Contaminated Green Waste

Closed on

Did you know that Councils and Companies are dumping large amounts of Contaminated Green Waste (C.G.W) on the British Countryside every year?

Farmers in the belief that they are doing the right thing for the community, are being misled and having their land contaminated with plastic, aluminium and all kinds of other products, containing chemicals and substances, which not only destroys the appearance of the countryside, but also puts at risk the health of wildlife and humans.

Do your bit today and make it law for DEFRA, along with the Environment Agency, to do regular weekly tests on farmland where this waste is being spread and make public their findings. In the event that the waste is above acceptable levels to fine the companies who delivered the 'waste' accordingly.

Please sign the petition today.
