Recycle your Bale Wrap

With the donations of our incredible community, Recycle South have a brand new machine for processing bale wrap waste and agricultural containers. We will be able to efficiently process this by product so that it can be repurposed.

A few reminders:
Please make sure all bale wrap is as clean as possible, free of debris, mud, and netting. All bale wrap needs to be packed into fadges, bulka bags or PlasBak bags. Loose bale wrap will not be accepted.

Do not dump and leave! Your bale wrap needs to be checked and weighed in on our weighbridge.

We have a customer form that is required to be completed in order for you to drop your bale wrap to us (download here).

All bale wrap is to be dropped off to our further processing plant located at 210 Branxholme Makarewa Road.

We will charge an additional $400 + GST per tonne on any contaminated product discovered after the customer has left. Bale wrap will be checked on delivery and any contaminated product will be reloaded on to your trailer, and you will need to either dispose of it yourself or return it to us in the correct condition. We cannot process bale wrap in an unacceptable condition.
