Autumn is hunting time, and with that comes the question of the delivery of slaughter waste.
ReMidt are not allowed to accept slaughter waste at our recycling stations. This is because we do not have a license from the State Administrator to accept this type of waste.

The state administrator has made a special decision that slaughter waste is not considered household waste, and thus requires a separate license to receive, transship and process it. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority has defined slaughter waste as falling under the by-product regulations and must therefore be treated according to the regulations that apply to such waste. So this has not ReMidt license to.

What should be done with slaughter waste?

Everyone who needs to deliver slaughter waste must contact their municipality and find out which scheme applies there.

This is what the State Administrator says:

• Waste from a limited number of animals can be buried locally in the hunting area, provided that the waste will not cause unpleasant odors, litter or significant damage to the environment.
• The waste that occurs at a common slaughtering site for many animals must normally be delivered to an approved waste reception (ReMidt is not accepted as receipt). Burial of such waste will normally only be possible with permission from the environmental authorities.
• Only exceptionally, in so-called "special cases", will it be appropriate to allow the burial of slaughter waste on a larger scale than is legal under the Pollution Act.
• Fallen game that is collected by the municipality/wildlife board is to be regarded as commercial waste and cannot be buried with reference to exceptions in the Pollution Act, but delivered to an approved reception (and it is not ReMidt).
