The two main plastic collection programmes in New Zealand's primary sector - Agrecovery and Plasback - have agreed to work together.

Free recycling of plastic agricultural bags is now available to farmers and growers.

By the end of this month, New Zealand farmers and growers will have recycled one million kg of plastic containers through the Agrecovery Rural Recycling programme.

A rural recycling scheme will now include on-farm collection of large drums.

Agrecovery is reminding farmers of its free waste collection sites where plastics and other farm waste can be disposed as an alternative to burning or dumping.

AGRECOVERY RURAL Recycling is challenging the primary industry to recycle more than 200 tonnes of container plastic in 2013/2014 – an initiative named "Target 200".
