Codes
of Practice are prepared under section 35 of the Waste Disposal
Ordinance after consultation with the Advisory Council on
the Environment. Codes of Practice give guidance and directions
as to the collection, storage, treatment, transportation and
disposal of waste. Failure of any person to observe a Code
of Practice shall not of itself render that person liable
to criminal proceedings of any kind but any such failure may,
in any proceedings whether civil or criminal and including
proceedings for an offence under the Waste Disposal Ordinance,
be relied upon as tending to establish or to negative any
liability which is in question in those proceedings.
This Code
of Practice gives guidance and directions as to the collection,
storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of livestock
waste generated or produced in or on livestock premises in
a livestock waste control area or a livestock waste restriction
area.
This Code
of Practice has been revised in 1994 under section 35 of the
Waste Disposal Ordinance and replaces the Code of Practice
previously prepared by the then Secretary for Health and Welfare
in 1988 in consultation with the then Environmental Pollution
Advisory Committee.
