Container recycling

Containers must be plastic, between 0 - 60 litres in size, with their lid and pail handles removed. Pail lids can be folded and placed inside the pail. They must be free from residue and dirt inside and out. Containers must be triple-rinsed and well-drained.

PP and LDPE bag recycling

Fully remove the string or cut along the top of the bag to remove residue and give a good shake. Ensure bags are clean. Put the bags in their specific liner (either LDPE or PP). Each liner fits 65-70 woven PP bags or 100 LDPE bags. Once full, seal the liner with the zip tie. Each zip tie has a code on it - this is needed for Agrecovery to record. Store in a dry and shaded location.
