Waste Trasfer Note given on the day of collection
To help smaller and more remote producers, under a special initiative, we held 4 Farm Plastic Collection Hubs across Shropshire.
This scheme attracted nearly 200 farmers and growers. 70 tons was collected
The hubs were sited to minimise distance travelled within Shropshire. All farmers and growers were invited to register - regardless of size or scale of enterprise.
More Hub Collection Days are being booked for October at Tern Hill, Much Wenlock, Bishop's Castle, Shrewsbury .
Charges will be as follows:
Members Non-Members
4 x 4 £40.00 £50.00
4 x 4 + trailer £50.00 £70.00
Tractor and Trailer £60.00 £80.00
In addition to these new hubs are being arranged for: Chirbury, Oswestry, Shifnal and Eccleshall.
Mini hubs can be arranged - please call Owen for details.
