Seed and Fert bag disposal

[Nearly]

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

Thirsk's not that bad.

When I went it was pissing down, the blokes were about as happy as the weather and it smelt like a landfill. Maybe that was a bad day.

There's a 'guy' coming round in a few weeks will shift a few bags

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.

Are they open again after there "little" fire.....?

 

[bobk]

Looking at the various replies there are 3 ways to deal with the problem:

1) Swan Vestas,
2) The 'guy' who comes round,
3) 'Proper' disposal at from free to £100 tonne.

I think it's no brainier - a full years supply of bags and containers wouldn't amount to more than a tonne so for £100 it's worth it for me.

The infrastructure is starting to grow to recover the hydrocarbons in plastics and turn in it to light fuel (C6 - C8 range). 1 kg of plastic waste = 2.9 kW/hr according to one company I met recently. Quite why we bale and export 3 000 000 tonnes of waste to be incinerated in mainland Europe and then import the power does seem to make no sense what so ever.

Not a big fan of on farm burying or burning these days, what with it being illegal and all...... But noticing the increasing amounts of black smoke these days it seems as though there is a bit of a free for all.

Talking about burying, I've a couple of low holes which would take about 500 tonne to fill. I was thinking about stripping the topsoil back and offering a free tip for clean rubble or subsoil (inert fill), any pitfalls I should be aware of?

Lots. Digging a hole and burying stuff is landfilling and needs a permit, and planning. The U1 exemption https://www.gov.uk/guidance/waste-exemptions-using-waste won't cover it I'm afraid.

Crumbs! What about burying your own inert waste? Say I had demolished an old farm building and broken up the concrete pad surly I can bury that.

Would you be allowed to fill large holes in fields with inert waste from your own farm. We are thinking of reclaiming some land around our yard and we're going to shift a large volume into some large holes in a close field.
