Silage wrap cardboard tubes

[Grassman]

We used them in the log burner this year. My daughter had some for hers and likes them better than logs.

They don’t break down easily... ive chucked loads in with the cows and they always come back out the muckspreader

Just the cardboard packaging. Cheaper than straw

My contractor leaves them for the customer to deal with.

Feeling frustrated this morning as we are phoning round recyclers and none of them seem to want to take cardboard cores or boxes from silage wrap ?? They will charge us to take them to landfill but this just seems a waste.
Apparently they burn too hot to send to a incinerator, one firm says all cardboard has to be baled up to take it to them.
Apart from November 5th anyone have any useful ways or contacts for disposal of these things ??
Don’t mind just hiring a skip for disposal, it just seems criminal to do it or to just burn them
I currently have about 200 tubes and rising and some plastic cores also to dispose of, as well as the boxes [emoji57]

do you know anyone with a woodburning stove? They go fine in there

 

[sahara]

Yes I’ve seen contractors dump their waste in customers fields when they finish never looks very professional to me and as I supply the wrap I feel it’s my responsibility [emoji57]

We get that here when the straw balers have left, string packages and empty grease cartridges left behind, one of my pet hates. If you don't want it, why do you think I do?

 

[Farmboymark]

We put ours in the household recycling, probably shouldn’t but they take them and it takes a while to get rid of them but at least there gone

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Rather have the cardboard ones than the plastic ones...chuck them in a 45 gallon drum with a match

Don’t even bother with the drum just chuck them in a heap on a bit of waste ground and burn them, they’ll be gone in no time

 

[davedb]

Me grandad used to drill holes in the plastic ones and use them for drain pipe

They wouldn’t be coming back here if they did that with me . You are paying them to do a service. Deduct £200 from the bill for tidying up their waste !

 

[sahara]

Its usually the contractors for the straw customers that are the culprits, so if I find any packets etc they get tucked under the string on the bales, or if I'm feeling particularly peed off they might go in a tractor cab!

Likewise here, pet hate of mine. Sometimes find them while mowing 2nd cut if we follow someone else.

Ours quartered in the table saw.

Boxes go in with the cattle as the first bedding when they come in and rot down fine. The cores go on a pallet while we try to figure out what to do with them. We don't use anything with plastic anymore. If the customer provides the wrap we leave the rubbish behind. But take all our own rubbish if we provide the wrap.

Recycling the holder as well . I have a new hobby now .
