Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Farm Plastics Recycling: Discussion
Mr. Liam Moloney:
At the bring centre this year, we are going to charge the farmer €50 per tonne. Last year and in 2019, it was €40 per tonne. It is, therefore, a €10 per tonne increase. As the average farmer probably brings in 800 kg or 900 kg, he or she will probably pay €34 or €40 at the bring centre this year.
