Recycling hayledge wrap and bags?

[ElleSkywalker]

Morning,

We have three ton bags of hayledge wrap and small hayledge/feed bags. We were going to hire a skip to dispose of but it there a recycling scheme or anything anyone knows of as seems a shame to send to landfill?

Many thanks

Elle

There are places who will take it to recycle, I looked/googled last year, the nearest one to us was about 40 miles away so i hired a skip instead
I have put feed bags into the "recycle at supermarkets" waste

I wish there was !

We don't use haylege now but our supplier used to take the old wrap away when he made the next delivery. Old plastic feed bags I use for garden waste.

Also check with your council.
Ours will take it if we divide into small rolls and put it in clear bags so they can see what's in them. (Councils are all different!)

I take mine to Tescos - checked with them first though, and take them a couple or so of feed bags worth at a time.

I was going to say try Solway too as they are countrywide and the only people I know who recycle farm waste. I have one of their chicken arcs which is made from all recycled plastic and it’s great.

Brilliant! Nice to see this. And they collect as far down as Lancaster and Harrogate.
Good range of products too, will keep them in mind.

I gave up with haylage wrap, but feed bags I use for household rubbish. We haven't bought bin bags for decades!

Just thought I'd update for anyone wanting to recycle wrap and bags. Solway passed my details on to a local recycling centre who emailed me details pretty quickly. They could either pick the bags up, at £40 per bag (tonne bags but not weighing anywhere near that) or I could drop them in to them at £20 a bag.

I took them in yesterday as lorry was weighed on way in and out and have received invoice today. Less than £45 inc vat for a year's worth of haylage wrap and 6 of their small liner bags to put this year's in. And v pleased as not only is it getting recycled, but the bags and wrap would have about half filled a skip which would have been around £300.

It was also handy to get lorry weighed for free, it came with weight certificate but that was with v little diesel and no random stuff in lorry so nice to see what 1/4 tank of diesel, full ad blue and all my random junk weighs (about 60kgs if anyone interested )

Good result. My green wheelie bin takes plastic so put all mine in there. As my 3 are out over summer with no haylage I carry on filling up the green bin with my winter waste.

Now to find out where I can recycle baler twine.......

The place I took my bags takes bailer twine too, and the wrap net you get in round bales of hay

I love my sister's plastic feed bags. I use them for rubbish instead of a bin liner. Far better .
