SAVE YOURSELF MONEY!
Clean washed (triple rinsed) pesticide and dairy hygiene
containers are non-hazardous waste. A half tonne bag
filled with clean containers costs ONLY €15 to recycle at
your nearest IFFPG farm plastic recycling bring centres.
Do The Sums...
A 20 litre container weighs approx.1 kg & costs €4/kg for
disposal as hazardous waste. You will fit 20 to 25 of these
in a half tonne bag. That’s expensive, so triple rinse them.
Call IFFPG on 1890 300 444 or go to
www.farmplastics.ie for further information
on recycling your farm plastics.
