|
The Agrecovery Chemicals programme is gaining momentum with bookings for disposal of unwanted chemicals increasing each week, according to Programme Co-ordinator Debbie Sherwood.
“We have received a good level of bookings even though the programme is still in its early days, and not surprisingly the requests come from quite diverse sectors of the primary sector,” says Debbie.

New 90 day service guarantee |
|
In response to feedback on the new Wrap recycling programme, Agrecovery has decided to introduce a “90 day service guarantee”. If arrangements are not made for full bags to be dropped off or collected within 90 days of booking, we will send you one free wrap bag for every five full bags booked. This service guarantee is valid for all full bags booked since 16th November 2009. |

Hawke’s Bay sheep and beef farmer Peter Clarkson drops his full bags of silage wrap off at Mike Kettle Contracting. Successfully managing to fit 24 tightly rolled silage bale wraps in the bag has enabled Peter to reduce the cost of recycling to 50 cents per bale wrap, half the cost that Agrecovery routinely advertises!
Around 100 bags were recently collected from the Agrecovery Wrap collection site at Mike’s property near Havelock North.
