What should you pay attention to when ordering a manure removal service?
It might seem that in the case of manure transport, you don't have to count on highly advanced equipment for a good end result. However, it should be remembered that the type and condition of the equipment translates into the even distribution of manure on the field.
For this to happen, the type and condition of equipment used should be appropriately matched to the amount and type of manure. Poorly functioning equipment can cause excessive accumulation of manure in one place, which leads to soil or groundwater contamination.
When organizing manure removal, it is worth paying attention to a few key aspects that can help avoid logistical, legal and environmental problems.
Laws and regulations: In Poland, there are specific regulations regarding the storage and disposal of manure, which aim to protect the environment, in particular groundwater.
Planning and ordering the service: It is best to plan manure removal for a period when weather conditions are favorable.
