Agricultural Plastics Recycling

Grain bag recycling is available at NW 06-52-16 W2. To get to this location drive 1 mile West of Garrick then 1 mile South, there are signs along the highway where to turn. Grain bags will not be accepted at the landfill or in the blue bins; they will only be accepted at the designated location. There is a sign with instructions on it at the site.

Grain bags cannot be recycled unless rolled. Having a grain bag roller makes consolidation of the plastic easier and more convenient, especially in the winter when snow and ice make it difficult to remove it from the field.

Grain bags must be well secured with multiple wraps of twine. Both the rolling and the tying make it easier for the bags to be shipped to the recycler. If they are not adequately rolled and wrapped they will not be shipped.

This site is also accepting twine for recycling. Collection bags can be picked up free of charge at the RM office or tote bags or super sacks may be used. The twine must have less than 10% contamination by weight and must be kept separate from net wrap.
