Southwest Recycling Scheme 2026

About the Scheme

The Farm Plastic Recycling Scheme began in 2004 and has taken place annually ever since. Farm Waste Solutions now runs the scheme, using all previous sites at the same time of year.

The aim is to provide farmers with a responsible, environmentally sound way to recycle plastic, preventing it from going to landfill.

How it works:

Pay on the day: card machine payment (preferred), or cheque
Deliver to the specified site at your booked allocated hourly slot
Clean, separated, bagged plastic only
No membership fees - pay only for the plastic you bring
