Lacombe County offers grain bag and twine recycling free of charge for agricultural producers in the County.

Grain Bag Recycling

Grain bag recycling is offered free of charge to agriculture producers operating within Lacombe County! The grain bags will be rolled and collected directly at the farm sites for eventual delivery to a plastic recycling center in Alberta. 

Please note: Grain bags are only collected between October and April.

Please note: Net wrap or netting and bale/silage wrap are NOT part of this program and will not be collected.

Requirements:

  • Agriculture producers who request grain bag recycling services must provide one individual on-site, capable of assisting with the rolling and collection operation.
  • Grain bags MUST BE FREE of grain, mud, dirt debris, and vermin.
  • To ensure used grain bags are eligible for recycling, grain bag collection services should be scheduled within one week of grain extraction.
  • Grain bag collection services are offered free of charge.

Twine Recycling

Producers can pick up Clean Farms Twine Recycling Bags at the Lacombe County Office or Lacombe Regional Waste Services Commission Transfer Sites during regular business hours. Twine will only be accepted if it is placed in the Clean Farms Twine Recycling Bag and brought to the collection site.

Requirements:

  1. Shake – Remove as much debris, snow, or ice as possible. Excessively dirty twine may be rejected, or subject to a landfill tipping fee or additional charges at drop-off.
  2. Bag – Place loose twine in a Clean Farms Twine Recycling Bag and tie bags to close. Please do not knot the twine.
  3. Return – Return the bags to a Lacombe Regional Waste Services Commission Transfer Site during regular business hours.
