The time can be viewed in the app and is updated regularly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Why should I sign up quickly? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

FAQ: Collection point and animal placement<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How do I order equipment for my collection point?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

We offer equipment designed to support safe and efficient collection.<\/p>\n

You can see the different solutions on the page Equipment for the collection point<\/strong><\/a> and order via our order form<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Where should the animal be placed before collection?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The animal must be placed in the collection area and covered in accordance with legal requirements.<\/p>\n

Animals that eat dung must not be able to get to the animal, and there must be a proper place for them to be collected, preferably with a drainage layer underneath.<\/p>\n

The animal must be positioned so that it lies perpendicular to the road where Daka's lorry is to park.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What access arrangements must be in place for the lorry at the time of collection?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n
\n

Collection will be carried out using a large, wide lorry, which is approximately 4 metres high.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the access road must be able to accommodate heavy traffic, and it must be possible to turn round on the premises or reverse into the site, as the driver is not permitted to reverse out onto a public road.<\/p>\n

When collecting the goods, there must also be a minimum clearance of 6 metres, as the goods will be lifted using a grab and a crane.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How often must a piglet container be emptied?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n
\n

The piglet container must be emptied when it is full or no later than 3 days after it has started to be filled. In cold or frosty weather, the deadline is 5 days. The lid must be kept closed and fit tightly to prevent scavengers from gaining access to the contents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What do I need to do before pickup?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Before registering for collection, the animal must be placed at the collection point and be completely covered so that scavengers cannot access it.<\/p>\n

We can collect shortly after registration, and you will receive a wasted journey fee if the animal is not found at the collection point.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are the requirements for my<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Please visit this page,Collection point requirements<\/a><\/strong>, where you can read more about the practical and legal requirements for the collection point.<\/p>\n

The requirements help to ensure an efficient, safe, and secure pickup for both the driver and the crew.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

FAQ: Prices and fees<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How much does a collection cost?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

You do not pay per collection, but for the number of animals or containers we collect.<\/p>\n

The price varies depending on the type of animal, and the current prices are available in our app.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Why have I received a fee? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Fees are most often due because we were unable to collect the registered animals (failed collection). This can be, for example, because the animal was not placed at the collection point, or because for one reason or another we could not reach the collection point due to conditions on your property. You may also have received a spoilage fee, which is due to poor raw material quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

FAQ: Legal requirements<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What does the law say about registration of fallen stock?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n
\n

There are statutory time limits for how long fallen stock may be stored before they must be registered for collection. The time limit depends on the method of storage and is calculated from the time the animal is euthanised or found dead.<\/p>\n

At the collection or storage site: Register for collection no later than 24 hours after the animal has been euthanised or found dead.<\/p>\n
