Agricultural plastics and trickle tape
Agricultural plastic and trickle tape can be disposed of at some Council waste facilities.
Trickle tape must be clean and free from contamination to be accepted for recycling. When it is too heavily contaminated with excess soil, vegetation, metal wire or silicon inserts, or not adequately separated from other plastics and waste items, it can no longer be recycled and disposal fees will apply.
