💧 HELP KEEP OUR RIVERS CLEAN: NEW SCHEME TACKLES AGRI-PLASTIC POLLUTION! 💧
The Teifi, Tywi, Usk, and Cleddau rivers are more than just waterways; they're lifelines for farmers, wildlife, and rural communities across Wales. These incredible rivers are even designated Special Areas of Conservation, providing a vital home for rare species like otters, lamprey, salmon, and water crowfoot. But sadly, they're under threat from a mix of industrial pollution, plastic waste, and soil runoff.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Check your eligibility - Call Birch Farm Plastics (01792 8690776) to confirm you’re eligible, operating in the scheme area.
2. Book your slot – At one of the designated Drop off Centres.
3. Save money – Thanks to Four Rivers for LIFE funding, you’ll pay less than standard recycling fees.
4. Plastics accepted – Silage wrap and film, feed/fertiliser bags, buckets, netting and twine. Plastics must be sorted by type.
5. Receive a Waste Transfer Note – Compliance & record keeping.
This is a limited-time offer - so don’t delay. Farmers outside the catchment areas are also welcome to use the centers, but the financial incentive is only for those within the scheme / listed county boundaries.
LOCATIONS: Four Rivers for LIFE Drop-Off Centres are planned for: Talsarn (Lampeter), Crymych, Llandovery, Sennybridge, Raglan, and Carmarthen. All within the four rivers catchment areas. More sites may be added based on demand.
