And the bad reports keep coming in - these quotes were made by Metal Detectorists who are seeing this on a regular basis -
'It seems to be an increasing problem, i too have had a farm of 200 acres ruined due to green waste being ploughed in. Yes it annoyed me as i have scratched this permission off the list but clearly the bigger picture is the potential ecological impact; the fields are now just strewn with shards of metal, plastic, glass and gloop'.
'The stuff is horrible, they do it around here too and preferably plow it in deep straight away... for me such a field is soon out of bounds, digging up alu packaging at 30+ cm
'I had permission on some land my way and i will not be going back! Rubbish all over the fields, whole rip off tin lids and so many lemon squeezy bottles, the ones shaped like a lemon! This has to stop'!
'Last year the farmer spread tons of the stuff over the productive fields. He was told it was certified clean and Lancashire has lost what was a very productive site....its now full of foil, batteries, shredded aluminium...you name it its there. Prior to this the site had a lot of shredded cable on it but we were used to that and sort of put up with that.....its now ruined'.
"farmers should be made more aware of what is going on there land, its a disgrace what is going into the ground, there is 4 massive fields here stuff full of history, and a roman settlement on one part of it, its now completely undectable thanks to composted waiste,,which is mostly home base mdf bording shredded and mix with muck,,all them lovely finds are now lost in a mountain of,,screws,,pins,,copper wire, I tried to find out why this was alloyed ,but got nowhere"
