Best as in most farmer friendly - i don't want to faff about pulling liners out of lorry loads of fert bags etc etc. Must also not be ruinously expensive. Who have people got on with in the east mids/ east anglia areas. I don't mind taking it in but I would prefer collection. Skips look very tempting at the moment but doesn't seem very eco friendly and possibly not the cheapest? Any ball aprk figure of what people pay would be appreciated- PMs are fine. TIA

Pretty sure Agricycle will take fert bags with the liners still in. They are recycling them.

last time i took stuff to agricycle collection point a tractor+dumper was in front and tipped the biggest mess of silage plastic you could imagine......i was amazed they took it

@Flat 10 you near them lads at thetford?.....can't remember their name

Don't know how far into East Midlands Peak Waste travel but we find them very easy to deal with.
Our plastic skip is 14m³ and costs £350 for a replacement. The really big savings are made when you keep plastic clean and tidy and squashed in well with a massive concrete block. (y)

Freedom recycling at Hockwold ( ex Cobbolds wash site) will probably take your waste. They were £130 /t last year minimum charge of half a tonne. They would also send a skip out to you.

Are you talking about Viridor? If you are, they don't accept plastic anymore.

We now use Culford waste.

I've heard they can be a bit picky about what they'll take.

Since wretham shut I now take my stuff over to pips skips at north tuddenham near Dereham. They seem very straight forward and easy to deal with, I just tipped everything in a big heap and left it to them. I think the old boy said they just shred it and burn it in there boiler to heat the offices.
They were 60 quid per half ton when I went before christmas.

I got on well with Mid UK, but I left the area 9 years ago so don't know what they are like now. They have a depot at Market Deeping too. https://www.midukrecycling.co.uk/

Who's best to look at in Hampshire? Could do with a skip type drop off to fill (all loaded into tipping tailer at the moment) - cut up water pipe, iodine barrels, plastic feed hoppers etc. Cheers.

Have a chat with Ian Kitson at Andover. We use him for all our farm plastics.
