UK Barber banned from composting hair
February 15th, 2010
“Hairdresser Jeff Stone was told he was breaking the law because his clients’ disgarded locks were classified as trade waste.” The issue appears to be ensuring “[business'] waste was not harming the environment”. Here’s the Blackburn with Darwin council page on trade waste.
At first, I thought this was just another silly government action. However, as there are health concerns regarding hair dyes, composting may or may not be the best way to deal with the substance. (Whether folks should be putting such chemicals into their hair is another matter.)
There are more details in the Telegraph story, and here’s Jeff Stone’s (the barber) contact information.
