The new scheme and advice should ensure that there is no reason to attempt inappropriate methods of disposal such as burning waste. Burning of waste can be classed as a statutory nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 section 83. If found guilty of an offence you could be fined up to £20,000.
