Purchase a Plasback bin & liners from us. Then simply place their waste plastics into the Bin straight away! Then, once the liner is full, contact Plasback to arrange collection.

This simple action of placing the waste materials in the bin as soon as possible after feed out keeps the plastic much cleaner and this means recyclers are better able to use the plastic. It also helps to keep your farm tidy and there is less risk of the plastic polluting the countryside.

The circular bin is designed to hold a heavy duty liner in such a way to allow farmers to pack the most plastic into each liner. The bin has a horizontally sliding lid to keep out rain and to keep the plastic secure in the liner. When the liner is full you simply take off the lid, tie the liner off, undo the two latches at the front and remove the filled liner.

Apart from the contamination issue, loose plastic is difficult to collect. It is hard to judge how much material is lying in a pile and it is not easy to agree a price for collecting a random pile of material without having to go to the expense of weighing the collection vehicle after each pickup. It is also complicated to plan collections, as the collector does not know how much material to expect at each pick up point. The liner serves as a unit both for planning purposes and for making a fair charge to everyone.

Yes and that’s fine. We accept there will always be some dirt. We are trying to stop the excessive contamination that happens after the bale has been fed out. In particular heavy objects are often thrown on the piles of plastic to stop them blowing around and these types of objects cause serious damage to recycling machines.

No. This is because the whole of the liner and its contents are recyclable together. This means there is no further sorting to be done when the filled liner gets to the recycling plant. Also by having the same type of filled liner everyone is using the same standard “unit”. This means when we are organising collections in each local area we will know exactly what volume is available at each farm. Everyone will be paying the same uplift fee based on each liner regardless of the type of plastic or the amount in each liner.

This depends on how much care you take in filling the liner and whether or not you chose to use a Bin. You should aim to get around 150 used wraps into each liner but you will need to roll up the wraps before putting them in the Bin. If you only use a liner you will not get quite as many wraps in.

Yes you can- however you need a separate liner per waste stream. This system also allows you to segregate plastics at source which again helps the recycling process. You can mix your baleage wraps with silage pit covers, smooth plastic feed bags, and plastic packaging that comes on farms. If you take your silage pit cover off in strips then put the strips into the liner. If you fold the cover off the pit in one, and you want to dispose of it, then simply fold the cover into a parcel and leave it by the bin ready for collection. If you have half tonne or one tonne feed or fertiliser bags these should be kept separate from the other plastics as they are a different plastic.

We do not take net wrap. It is important that you do not mix baler twine or net wrap with the baleage wrap as they are different plastics. Please separate the net wrap from the baleage wrap before putting only the baleage wrap in the bin. (Twine can go in a separate liner to be recycled).

Once you have joined the scheme you will be sent a leaflet telling you which plastics can be mixed and which plastics cannot be accepted and have to be kept separate. If in doubt phone Plasback.

Contact Plasback and they will organise for us to collect your liner. You can book collection online through Plasback of Freephone 0508 338 240.

Note that due to the area we cover we may not collect your liner until there is a larger quantity to collect in your area.

If you have a larger operation and are regularly filling multiple liners, wait to book your collect until you have several liners to collect, we will then contact you to make your collection.

We do not supply certificates, but you can use the Invoice from our collection as proof that you are disposing of the plastic correctly.

They will be charged for the full cost of disposal including any remediation costs. We may be unable to collect from them again and they will have to make alternative arrangements for the collection of their plastic.

You should leave your liners at the farm yard with easy access for a large truck. This should be a hard standing area clear of overhanging trees and cables. Please do not stack liners too close to a building.
