How do I get waste tyres for my silage pit if I need them?

As a farmer you can obtain waste tyres from one of two routes: From an authorised waste collector who is registered with an Approved Body (REPAK ELT) or with your local authority and has a valid waste collection permit authorising the transport waste tyres. You, the farmer, are not required to be registered under this option. Directly from a tyre fitter or retail outlet provided that you, the farmer, are registered with an Approved Body (REPAK ELT) or with your local authority and that the tyre fitter or retail outlet, where waste tyres are being sourced, is registered with an Approved Body (REPAK ELT) or with their local authority. If you are offered waste tyres from a waste collector, you should check that the person or company offering them has a valid waste collection permit for transporting waste tyres.
