Plastic recycling

During the winter months, we feed all the silage bales we have made during the summer. The plastic that comes off gets hung over a gate to dry then rolled up tightly and put in our store area. Tonight we have been packing Solway Recycling bags with the various streams of plastics for a collection at Cockermouth tomorrow. Black, white and all other plastic feed bags comprise one stream of plastic. Woven plastic (e.g. the outer part of fertiliser bags) is a second stream. Buckets and plastic cartons - well-rinsed out - are another separate stream and string and net is the fourth type. This plastic is all recycled to form useful items like portable lambing pens and cattle feedrings.
