Agri Waste

[Kayla @ MDS RECYCLING]

I feel slightly humiliated. So on that note thank you to those who have tried to help me. Those who seem to be a little sceptical, haven't you ever just been the new one, in a new job within a new industry just trying your best. Thank you so much for those who have engaged in conversation and have helped me.

No need to feel humiliated, you sure are not the first & wont be the last, but members with a purely commercial angle are treated with a little skepticism, clearly the company you work for should have offered you advice.
You are more than welcome to join in with topics and learn a little more about the Ag industry.

Now look what you've gone and done. Frightened her away. Summat didn't quite add up though.

Spoke to her through PM and think she is purely just a city girl, employed to do a job.. One which she was trying to learn a bit about, I mean we spoke for a while and all she did was ask some (obvious to us) questions and try and learn a bit about what waste farms produce and how and why we end with it and also how we prefer to dispose of it.. If she was trying to pitch she would surely concentrate on members in wales?

So I am guessing if you burn or bury it as some have said it is frowned apon. But is there and repercussions to doing either?

 

[FordFarmer]

Yes environment agency would not be impressed.. Fines and inspections and could even go to court for burning plastics..

Where are you based? If you'd like to meet up sometime to discuss farm waste sure I could spare a few hours.

It's illegal and very irresponsible. I send all my plastic to a local recycling firm. It makes me angry to see neighbours burning it, spreading carcinogenic particles into the atmosphere.

In a nutshell, I would expect you could collect material from a local area, compress it and sell it on. Transport costs for uncompressed material would be too high over lover distances.

I would also be concerned about contamination of the plastic with bits of silage, dirt, soil etc. How is that cleaned out or dealt with. maybe you could tell us how that works?????

[Kayla @ MDS RECYCLING]

Oh. That seems rather excessive. I live just a little out of Cardiff in South Wales. That is so nice of you. Where are you located?

I know her avatar is pretty, but that's quite a Freudian spelling error

 

[Kayla @ MDS RECYCLING]

I can not give you the in's and out's as I haven't seen the machine run yet.

But there is a "wash plant" which I am assuming with clean the product before they are processed through one of the other machines.

Oo err Mrs. You never really know who is who in tinternet. Could be like the avatar, or could be a bloke in a dress smoking a pipe.

I doubt it, most seem to be paying around £80 a tonne for disposal to waste transfer stations. Landfill gate fee is around £20 plus £80 landfill tax. I think a lot is sent abroad to be incinerated.
