Got a company that takes the waste oil, silage wrap and sprayer drums to recycle, but why not netwrap? It must be able to be made into something! :confused:

Fish net stockings for the larger ladies ??
well netwrap does turn water on a bale so why not on a larger lady ;) ........... was more thinking the melted down route, our black silage wrap gets melted down and some of it goes to drain AstroTurf apparently

Offer it to your local allotment - brilliant for keeping rabbits out round the edge (they get tangled and free rabbit pie!), and good for netting over the tops of rows of cabbage etc. Two layers make a frost protection. Twisted, they make fair ropes, but they are best for ripping fingernails off.

Are you looking for free disposal....or just something that recycles it rather than landfill?
Free is always good! (y) would rather see it go into something useful! we pay an annual fee for the silage wrap and spray cans to be taken away

A few years ago I saw a drainage contractor using chipped waste plastic instead of gravel on top of a trenched in pipe, could you not use net wrap or would it just pack down tight?

I suppose it would retain a degree of porosity but would be abit of a bugger to dig down to to repair or add a junction etc
