Registration  

Farmers register with the Scheme for the collection  and disposal of fallen stock on payment of an annual registration fee.  For information about registering, please see the "Join" pages.

Additional collection points can be registered as part of the same business on payment of an additional fee for each collection point.

Upon becoming a member, farmers will recieve a list of all the approved collectors operating in their local area and the prices that they charge.

Collections 

When they have fallen stock a member will contact a registered collector of their choice. Collectors are required to collect all species for which they have provided prices and may not refuse any reasonable request to collect stock.

On picking up the fallen stock, the collector is required to deliver a signed NFSCo receipt  to the member. As acceptance of the accuracy of the receipt, the member should if possible, countersign the receipt. If this is not possible, an unsigned copy must be left at the member’s address. The member must notify the collector within 72 hours of collection if no receipt has been received.

The member has 72 hours to dispute a receipt directly with the collector after which if it cannot be resolved it should be referred to NFSCo.

Payment

Members will receive a monthly statement from NFSCo summarising the categories and quantities of fallen stock collected.

The monthly statement will list both the actual cost of collection and the charge to the member after deduction of the 10% Government contribution (where applicable).

Members have 14 days to dispute any items on the statement. After this time, NFSCo will debit the member for undisputed amounts using the variable direct debit mandate set up at registration.
