Council is running a silage wrap recycling trial at the Tooma Recreation Reserve on Wednesday 6 November and Wednesday 4 December 2019.
Residents are encouraged to bring down their farm silage wrap for recycling as a sustainable alternative to burying it on their farms.
Council will be on-site collecting the plastic between 10am and 12.30pm on both days. The collected wrap will then be transported to the Tumut Transfer Station for processing.
Recycling silage plastic has production and environmental benefits including the reduction in harmful greenhouse gasses and pollutants,fewer plastics littering our farms, landscapes and water ways and reduced hazards for stock and wildlife.
