Seperating your Farm Waste plastic recycling

To make this easier we have divided up common plastics into five groups or 'Waste Streams' to prevent contamination place plastics straight into liners. Farm waste disposal and collection for recycling is more successful if the following seperation is made.

Silage Pit Covers
Small Feed bags (not woven bags)
Sawdust Bags

Stream 3 - Hard Plastic Drums and Containers

ALL containers MUST be TRIPLE rinsed.

Foil tops that have been thoroughly cleaned can go in with the drums.

Contaminated foils must be kept separate as they are classed as hazardous waste.

We will arrange for these to be collected separately

Stream 4 and 5 String and Net Wrap

String & Net Wrap - Please follow the same method for both but please do SEPERATE the two streams as they are recycled in different processes.

Please remove as much debris as possible.

Please fill all the liners by hand to stop contamination of the plastic.

When you have filled your liner, tie the top with a piece of string or a large cable tie.

All liner are inspected and tagged before they are uplifted.
