Cleanfarms launches Sask pilot to collect baler twine for recycling

Plastic twine is commonly used in farm operations to bind hay, straw and silage for storage, but at the end of its useful life, twine is challenging to manage. This Cleanfarms pilot aims to develop a stable recycling program for agricultural twine. – Cleanfarms photo (CNW Group/CleanFARMS Inc.) MOOSE JAW, Sask. Cleanfarms has launched a pilot program in Saskatchewan to collect baler twine for recycling. Baler twine wraps and stores hay, straw and silage, but at the end of its life, plastic twine is challenging to manage. Disposal in landfill can result in the twine twisting around the wheels of landfill equipment and disposal by burning or burying is detrimental to the environment. In Saskatchewan alone, an estimated 1,100 to 1,300 tonnes of twine are used in farm operations.
