Bundled into outer seed bag then off to harby agriculture. Easy, fairly cheap and ticks the box for assurance

 

[colhonk]

Take mine with fert bags and spray cans to the Recycling center, tip them on the heap for the tip mate.

possibly should do the same as the developer next door who has been burning all his waste for the last year on an open bonfire. It defies belief with the number of people watching farmers that no one goes after these people.
suppose it is my fault really for not dobbing him in!

Expensive IMO.

Expensive IMO.

£350/load iirc, for us that's 2 loads/yr. Everything all on lorry, so all cardboard, bags and cans, once in winter, one pre harvest. If a smaller farmer couldn't fill a full load, perhaps club together with next door?

What about the bags from the urea you buy for melting? or does it come loose in bulk?

buy in bulk, saves £10-15 / t

Local recyclers do a farmers free Saturday, rock up, weigh in, tip load, weigh out, get disposal cert.
Just £10 admin fee (into the sticky bun fund for staff I assume)

Do they also take silage wrap ?

Pearsons recycling used to be free but now charge £55 per ton or part there of.

The tick is timing it right to go in with 999kg and not 1001kg.

I begrudge paying £55 just to keep the parasites oops farm assurance man happy.

I must admit, this is one of the reasons for going liquid for me. Had a play with polysulphate in bulk and enjoyed not having to pick them bags up too.

Well if @Thick Farmer isn't going to say it.....

 

[cudota]

Should be looked into the outers have a value for recycling

Anything. Last time I went there were 14t silage trailers piled high going in, good value for a tenner. Place is a stinking shithole though
