silage wrap.

Agri contractor

Just phoned the co-op toady for plastic €85 per roll including vat and will probally go up another bit they say.

Was thinking of buying plasic in the North but there is no serial number on this for the waste collection. How would I explain this to a farmer ??? is it my responsibility ???

Tell your customers to supply there own plastic that is what they do round me.Then they can go north if they want.Got my plastic collected last year and if i hadent a number still would have saved more than the extra cost of buying it down south.

We use wrap from the North all the time. We get our wrap collected from FRS rather than IFFPG. While we often have to pay a few euro extra to have the wrap collected, we make great savings by buying the wrap in the North. The 2 closest places to the border for wrap are Cassidy's Filling station in ballyconnell and McCorry Agri in Derrylin. A google will get you a number for each. We normally deal in McCorry's, Phelim is the owner and he's very easy to deal with. Stay away from the Quinn wrap.

could you not buy 2 or 3 rolls from your local coop and use that number for plastic collection , then buy the rest up north

manjou

Can get any wrap up north Got silotite. last year at 55 .Heard it will be 65 this year but have not rang yet. Cassidies or mc corries nearest and cheapest.Also buy 2 roles and get no for collection.6 layers you will get about 25 bales to role depending on bales

Agri contractor

most are around 65 + vat in the North for visqeen or any of the good types.

Mccorry or Cassidy will take euro cheques. McCorry will arrange delivery if you ar ordering at least a pallet.

Visqueen is good wrap.

20% vat rate.

48 rolls in a pallet (I think).

That would put a roll at €78 - so it may or may not pay to buy it - depending on whether you have a vat number or not.

yep not registered unfortunately, i suppose if you paid cash they might knock the VAT off?

JohnGalway maybe you could make this thread a sticky??..might be handy coming towards silage season whereby folks could see where best value on wrap is

kerry agri in clare told me 85 euro but not 100% decided yet and no brands mentioned

I was in Kilmallock mart on monday and there were lads there selling silage wrap for 75 euro a roll. They had an open sided lorry and were selling other bits and pieces so all seemed genuine enough and seemed like a good deal. I didnt know the brand of plastic, had never heard of it and now i cant recall the name of it. Seemed fair good value considering the prices quoted above.

Bit of a long shot but, anyone else here see it or know anything about the plastic. I was very tempted to buy a few but afraid it might be rubbish stuff. Sorry i dont have a name for it but maybe someone else saw it and can remember.

i suppose the problem there is that they probably wont give you the recycling batch number?

I dont see that as being an issue cause there is a plastic collection day annually in our area where by we take the plastic to a plastic collection point, normally located in a quarry on a specific day. Think it is 25 euro a tonne when you drop it off but never weighed and they will take a big tractor trailer load. Better value than paying, i think it is 60/70 a bag collected.

no we are they same, bring it to a collection point or they will come out for a bit more but they still look for that number off you in my experience, maybe it doesnt make any odds though

i got rid of three years round bale plastic last year a lorry from the north came to a collection point. the lorry man didnt ask for a number. 300 wraps ten euros:D

limerick farmer

saw those crowd selling the bale wrap for 75 euro in kilmallock.I think it was called poliwrap.I know I have never heard of it before.I think if you take plastic to those collection points run by the IFPPG you have to have a code number to get it collected at the reduced price.

Its from Global world sourcing - they get most of their stuff from China. Its just a one man show who has set up as a middle man and takes a generous commission. I wouldn't like to risk my 2011 silage by wrapping it with untested cheap wrap.

The ad says

"Low noise when stretched"

This suggests that the wrap isn't very tacky and there may be issues with air tightness because of this IMO.

Lads dont get caught out buying up north, a few lads around me this year got stung getting rid of the stuff, they wont take dockets from up north. €85 half tonne versus €15. Not too bad ya might think but try a silage trailer full of it and its a disaster....:eek:

DMAXMAN

as far as i know you can buy plastic up north and pay the levy on it down south to the iffpg crowd.any way why bother, the frs have a collection around here and it is 50 euro per load ,that includes all your spray cans ,net wrap,silage plasticand wraps etc versus 40 euro per bag for each type of waste plus 7 euro per bag to buy with the iffpg group

Farmplastic

Nah i rang them about it today, they say if you buy it up north then you will be charged at the high rate. The Northern lads arent registered with them for levy so anyone that says they have numbers for ya are just making them up. I asked them if the number i gave them didnt work and they said then its the high rate..... i told them about the FRS prices for the cans and they said they are changing that side of things for next year so it will be easier. I dunno im happy enough to pay it at least the department wont be asking questions

Rubbish

I buy all my wrap in the north and have no bother getting it collected,

The FRS collect it no bother,

For 350 Bale wraps I was only charged €30 iirc

The FRS is the way go.
