The key to efficient recycling is the segregation of
waste material at source on the farm and keeping it dry
Waste farm plastic collected by Emerald Isle Recycle is divided into 3 waste streams.
The items listed are the only waste plastics collected for recycling.
NB: It is essential that the 3 waste streams are correctly segregated and not mixed within a single liner. Material must be kept as clean and dry as possible, either in a Solway liner or under cover.
Mixed or excluded material will not be uplifted.
