Horticultural Plastics

Keep it clean for recycling

Plastic sheeting and other film should be dry with any mud or debris removed. For general information on "Best Management Practices" for recycling horticultural plastics, see the study done in collaboration with Cornell University (click here for PDF document).

Reclaim Northwest, LLC. accepts: plastic covers, drip tape, ag bags, super sacks, bunker trap, twine, calf hutchs, plastic barrels, buckets, berry flats, shrink wrap, etc. We are located at 199 H Street Road, just west of the Guide.

Avoid landfills. Recycling wastes just makes good sense.

Why Recycle ?

What’s the matter with a bonfire fueled by plastic wastes, or with plowing old mulch or dairy film into a field or piling it out-of-the-way? The primary problems are that open burning adds pollutants to the air that pose risks to human health, and dumping can compromise water quality and future farm operations, not to mention that random piles of used, partly-degraded plastics are unsightly. Recycling improves environment quality.
