Bale Wrap Recycling

Recycle South can genuinely recycle your bale wrap and silage covers right here in Southland. With the donations of our incredible community, we are giving you a solid, and cost-effective option for getting Ag Plastics off the farm giving the plastics a new environmentally friendly lease of life.

We are also accredited Fonterra recyclers.

Processing of bale wrap and silage covers is 15cents + gst per kg

A few reminders:
Please separate the outer and inner linings, and ensure all bale wrap is free of debris and netting.

Silage covers need to be cut into 3m wide strips and separate the oxygen layer from the outer layer.

We have a form for first-time customers to complete in order for you to drop your bale wrap off to us. Want to save time? Download and complete the form before you come to see us.

All bale wrap and silage covers are to be dropped off to our further processing plant located at 218 Branxholme Makarewa Road.
Open Monday to Friday 8am - 4pm for drop offs.
