Recycling farm plastics

[Beefy23]

Hello

I am interested in finding a services for recycling farm plastic it will consist of round bale plastic wrap and netting and hesston bale string. I would be looking at a bin for fortnight pick up . I've tried Biffa and my local council and both don't offer the service. In Ledbury area. Anyone got any ideas

Smiths or Wye Valley. Or there a bloke at Newent where you can drop it off for free

A fortnightly pick up will be expensive unless you have an awfull lot. We get a skip dropped in the yard for a week or so in the spring to put our winters plastic in. Fill it up in the day and park the loader up at night with the bucket pressing it down, it amazes me how much you can get in a skip all though if you think about it logically, the plastic isn't that bulky when it comes on farm. Cost, £180 plus VAT

As above Smiths would do it. Also worth trying SWR Just Bins - they're a nationwide broker. I priced up an 1100 mixed recycling with them last week and it was £7 per collection on a fortnightly basis.

Birch Plastics from Swansea do ours - we dont have much these days but we take it to Raglan Market. They prob go up your way look them up.

For recycling they won't want net wrap. Plastic only

Does the company provide the skip?

Yes, they drop it off and pick up a week or two later.

I am told a lot of waste is sent to third world countries for processing where I believe something similar is used as a part of that process.

Apart from the obvious what do people do with their netwrap, the company down here that recycles do not want it as they have 2 years worth piled up in a shed that they can't get an outlet for anymore so won't pick it up.

The old man always chucked it over drains before filling the trench in! Bet the old b&stard has a right giggle in his grave when I have to dig the flaming things up to fix his dodgy bodges!

Net wrap is great kindling for the house fire...

Me too!
Is there any difference in burning fuel oil or netwrap for heat? Is it any more polluting?

Our netwrap goes in a skip. We have strategically placed seed bags around the farm.to keep it tidy and then ram them into the skip a couple of times a year.
