Agriculture Plastics Recycling

Grain Bags

Grain Bag Recycling

1. SHAKE off as much organic material (spoilage, soil, etc.) as possible. Extremely dirty or loose/unrolled bags may be rejected.  If you do not have a landfill access tag, you may have to pay a tipping fee or additional charge upon drop-off (if your material is rejected).
2. ROLL and TIE the bags with twine. Grain bags must be rolled tight with a roller or a baler and tied with twine.  Grain bags not rolled properly must be cut into 6 ft. x 6 ft. pieces and are subject to tipping fees as they will be disposed of in the landfill.
3. RETURN the grain bag to the Clairmont Centre for Recycling & Waste Management for recycling.

Find more information at Clean Farms.

Twine

Twine Recycling

1. SHAKE as much debris, snow or ice as possible. Do not include the net wrap and make sure twine is knot-free. Excessively dirty twine or knotted twine may be rejected and subject to a landfill tipping fee.
2. BAG twine. Obtain bags from an attendant at the Clairmont Centre for Recycling & Waste Management and place loose twine inside. Poke small holes in the bag to drain water. Secure bag tightly with a twine or zip tie.
3. RETURN the bag to the Clairmont Centre for Recycling & Waste Management for recycling.

Find more information at Clean Farms.

Twine must be clean, free of debris and can't be in a knot to be accepted for recycling.

When can I drop off my rolled grain bags?

Please call the Clairmont Centre for Recycling & Waste Management ahead of time at 780-567-4194 to ensure there are staff available to assist with unloading.

Can I bring in silage bags and tarps, net wrap, hay bags, or unrolled grain bags?

These items are not part of the program and must be cut into 6 ft. x 6 ft. pieces for disposal at the landfill face. Tipping fees apply.

Containers up to 23L

Please ensure all containers are rinsed thoroughly and that no residue is left.
