Drop off crop plastics quickly and easily

Good to know: Conditions for acceptance at your ERDE collection point

We want you to be able to drop off your crop plastics at our ERDE collection points as quickly and easily as possible.

With this in mind, we request that you observe some important criteria for acceptance before your visit. These are checked on site by an employee of the collection point or by ERDE staff. Your materials may be refused if the criteria are not met.

Plastics must be clean and residue-free

All films for drop off must be clean and free of coarse dirt. Please make sure that there is no foreign matter, such as iron, wood, tires, baler twine or nets, mixed with the films.

Deliver nets and baler twine in bags

Round bale nets and baler twine must be collected and delivered in bags. The bags are available at the collection points.

Never dispose of nets and yarns in the yellow bag/yellow garbage can!

They get tangled in machines and disrupt established recycling processes for packaging.
