Plastic Twine 

Plastic twine only. Bags of twine mixed with netting, sisal twine, or other materials may be rejected. 

1. Shake – Remove as much debris, snow or ice as possible. Run the twine through a gloved hand to help remove debris. 

2. Bag – Place loose twine in a collection bag and secure tightly closed with twine or a zip tie. Clean Farms Twine Recycling bags are available free of charge at Broadview Enviroservice Station. 

3. Return – Bring full bags of twine to the Agricultural Round Up Event on October 21 at the Pointe. 

Grain Bags 

Most grain bag extractors roll the bags too loosely. We cannot accept unrolled, extractor rolled, or hand rolled grain bags. Any improperly rolled bags may be rejected.  A grain bag roller will be on site for this event to ensure grain bags are secured properly.

1. Remove Debris – Grain bags need to be free of as much foreign materials (spoilage, dirt, rocks etc.) as possible. Using a proper grain bag roller will help achieve that objective.  

2. Roll – Grain bags must be rolled tightly with a standalone mechanical grain bag roller or old hay baler, and then secured tightly with twine. 

3. Return – Bring grain bags that are rolled and tied securely to the Agricultural Round Up Event on October 21st or for your nearest collection site, visit AlbertaAgPlatics.ca

Alberta Ag-Plastic program 

The Alberta Ag-Plastic. Recycle it! program is opening up opportunities for farmers to adopt alternative disposal methods that help them be environmentally responsible and follow sustainable farming practices. Agricultural plastics are an important tool that producers use on farms to secure their commodity; now Alberta has a solution for the end of life for grain bags and twine instead of other, more harmful methods of disposal.
