Farm Plastic Recycling Scheme 2019

The first FWAG Farm Plastic Recycling Scheme began in 2004 and has taken place annually ever since. The aim of the scheme is to provide farmers with a responsible, environmentally sound way to recycle plastic, preventing it from going to landfill. The scheme is simple and straight forward, with no membership fees so the farmers only pay for the plastic they bring.

• Deliver to one of 15 sites on the specified day only
• Strictly separated, bagged plastic only - All tyres and loose plastic will be turned away - see overleaf
• Farmers to label each bag and to sign a disclaimer stating that no other plastics or wastes are present
• £227/tonne + VAT (minimum charge £68 + VAT)*. No extra charges**. Pay on the day. Payment by cash or cheque only.

• Operating on a first-come first served basis
• You will be given an allocated hourly slot, you can request this below. This slot is subject to availability, we will get back to you if your requested slot is no longer available.
  

• To transport waste, register with the Environment Agency for a free, one off Lower Tier Waste Carrier Licence at: www.gov.uk/waste-carrier-or-broker-registration or ring 03708 506506.

* For the past 10 years FWAG SW has maintained the price per tonne for recycling plastic. Due to the recent collapse of global markets for agricultural plastic, this has drastically affected the UK market. In order to continue running the scheme, FWAG SW has had to reluctantly increase the price per tonne for this year’s scheme. We hope this is a temporary measure and we will reassess prices for future schemes.

** However, an additional surcharge may apply to loads where net wrap is more than 10% of the load by volume.
