Agricultural Plastics Recycling

RE Sources is working with the Northwest Clean Air Agency and Natural Resource Conservation Service to set up programs for collecting and recycling farm and greenhouse plastics in seven northwest counties.

Systems are in place for recycling:

  • Ag Bags
  • Baling Twine (plastic)
  • Greenhouse Plastics
  • Hay Bale Wraps
  • Mulch Film
  • Nursery Containers
  • PVC Pipe
  • Pesticide Containers (triple-rinsed)
  • Other Film and Rigid Plastics

Last year, Whatcom County recycled 43 tons of plastic with support from the Whatcom County Solid Waste Division.  Skagit County reported 29 tons recycled through Skagit River Steel and the Northwest Ag Plastics program for recycling rinsed pesticide containers.
