Those of you who use big wrapped bales, how do you dispose of the bale wrap? There used to be a collection and recycling service but I think it didn't pay.
 
I only have one big bale a week and I burn it in one of those dustbin type incinerators along with the other feed bags. Sometimes I roll it up really tight and put it in the wheelie bin depending on how much house hold rubbish I have.

Burning plastic gives off toxic fumes, you didn't oughta be doing that!
 
Farmer takes it when he drops a new bale round...no idea what he does with it...assumed burnt it but maybe not what with all the chemicals :-/
 
I'm keen on recycling but at the moment it goes in my wheelie bin. Agree about burning them - I thought it was illegal, can anyone confirm?
That recycling firm is a bit far away, but if they can do it......................
