Agricultural Plastics Diversion Pilot Program |
|
Oxford County is reminding local farmers about the agricultural plastics pilot program at the Oxford County Waste Management Facility. For $50/tonne, farmers can recycle plastics like silage bags, bunker covers, bale wraps, fertilizer bags, and salt bags (black, blue, and white). Materials must be reasonably clean and contamination-free, sorted by type, and packed in designated collection bags. Farmers can request collection bags free of charge at 1-800-755-0394 or wastemanagment@oxfordcounty.ca. Local farmers generate approximately 300 tonnes of bale and silage wrap annually. In 2023, five tonnes of agricultural plastics were collected and diverted from the landfill thanks to the program. Read more about the Agricultural Plastics Diversion Pilot Program. |
