Haulage Wraps - what do you do?
« on: August 31, 2019, 11:01:49 am »
Are you in the same position as we are with haylage wrap, We now have 2 winters worth piled up in the barn and it won’t be long until winter 3 starts! We used to have a recycling company that took it but they have now stopped and the big commercial recyclers want £149 per year based on their minimum size farm of 100 acres - we are 10 acres (I wouldn’t mind paying £14.90 but it doesn’t work that way. Any (legal) ideas or solutions gratefully received, we are on the Glos/Hereford  border.

I put ours as we use it in the land fill wheelie bin.  As we do not use more than 2/3 a week there is no problem.  We do fold it up and roll it tight once it is taken off.

You may take a while but you should be able to dispose of your mountain that way as well.

Our local recycler has the same deal for farmers but also operates a £15/dumpy bag option for smallholders.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
