Agricultural waste management : best management practices.: En37-476/2001E-PDF
"Agriculture is the largest contributor of any resource sector to the economy of Prince Edward Island. It is also a large generator of waste materials. This booklet is a practical guide to help the agricultural community continue to be more environmentally responsible and gain maximum return from their waste resources. ... This booklet will: provide practical information to maximize the benefits and minimize negative impacts of handling waste; look at the environmental risks associated with some waste management practices; describe management and facility options for dealing with waste; compare the potential impact of various options; list contacts and other suggested readings. It will not answer every question on waste management but it can help make decisions on farm planning and day-to-day operations"--Introduction, page 1.
