No, the law isn't enforced because it clearly says you are excluded from it if you keep, treat or dispose of your waste on your own property.

geordie joe you are banging your head against a brick wall here (dont break it though or you will have get a licenced waste carrier in to clear the rubble!) I think this is a case of someone desperately trying to justify a position that, if they were being honest, they know to be completely incorrect.

I was reading this yesterday morning after hanging out my washing and low and behold some wally down the street decided to light a bonfire at 2 in the afternoon while 90% of my neighbours had their washing out too.

I had a few thoughts on the subject and I was rather tempted by someones "hose" idea lol however i went down and asked the fella to kindly put it out till later as I was going to have to wash everything again.... needless to say I got a mouthful of abuse and ended up re-washing my washing!

( He was burning a fridge!! Is that even legal???)

I could never be regarded as a yuor atypical environmentalist but even I am appauled at that! Even if he had the gasses profesionally removed from the fridge (expenseive so very unlikely) the rest of the materials in a fridge would be dangerous to burn.

That type of abuse is illegal and really should be reported! Totally unacceptable!

I thought you could burn anything on your land and I was talking "tosh" when I said you couldn't?

Not one person here has ever said that anyone could burn hazardous or toxic waste! You really are getting desperate now. Just admit that you misread something and were mistaken, we have all done it so come on repent and let it go my son!:D

Fridges have to be disposed of correectly cos they contain harmful gases.. and thats not including burning the plastic.

though it would be interesting to know what they did with the metal caarcass once they burned everything off

And you cant burn yoru house down just because its on your own land - you would get done for arson wouldnt you?

Sell it for scrap. Thieves are stealing anything metal due to the high value of scrap so burning a bit of plastic off a fridge is nothing new.
