Plastic waste

[Huwie]

Where’s everyone sending there silage wrap etc now to recycle? Birch has stopped its plant in South Wales and skips charge £170 a tonne round here which is ridiculous!

Isn’t that clear wrap free now ?

 

[Huwie]

Yeh I heard something but don’t think it’s very popular Plus Iv just wrapped 1500 bales with black volac wrap

No one will recycle it around here now...straight to landfill, sacrilege

Where is 'round here'? I take mine to Potters in Welshpool every other year, to keep the FA mob happy with a ticket. The minimum charge is £60, for a ton iirc, so cheaper than Birch were. Getting it there might be a problem if you're not local of course, but I doubt they would get away with charging anything much different to other recycling/landfilling companies?

You could get a fair bit in a skip to be fair, compacted well, and presumably they collect it when it's full for £170? You don't move a tractor & trailer for nothing of course.
