Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion
Mr. Liam Moloney:
Typically at this time of year for the past few years, we carry 12,000 to 15,000 tonnes in our yards. All that material will be recycled. We carry material in our yards because we have collected such record volumes at a time when it has been quite difficult to recycle. We have measures in place to clear out those yards in advance of the 2024 season. Every tonne of plastic that is collected is recycled.
