Cleanfarms will receive $76,000 from the province to expand its plastic recycling pilot project. The not-for-profit organization helps farmers recycle agricultural plastics like hay bale wrap and feed tarps. Three farms in Inverness County have been participating, using a compactor to break down plastic waste, which is then taken to Cleanfarms collection sites. Under the expansion, the program will be available to any Nova Scotia farmers who have hay bale and feed covers and want to participate, with drop-off stations set up across the province.
