It was answered by Mary Creagh (Labour) on Wednesday, 21 May 2025 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Tyres: Waste Disposal
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department is taking steps to ensure that farmers have low cost access for disposing of tractor tyres.
- Answer
-
Every business that produces or deals with waste tyres has a legal duty of care to make sure that their waste is managed appropriately by an authorised person to ensure that risks to the environment are minimised. Any holder of end-of-life tractor tyres is able to check that someone is appropriately authorised to handle that waste through the Environment Agency's or their national equivalent environmental regulator's public register.
This is a devolved matter, and the information provided therefore relates to England only.
