Recycling agricultural plastic waste takes effort--farmers must collect and store it, and many currently prefer to pay a hauler to take it away. The project manager will meet with farmers, conduct field visits and hand-on workshops, offer demonstration events, and put in place a collection and baling schedule for used plastic. The goal is to expand farmer and public awareness of the benefits and logistics of plastic recycling, and help farmers reduce costs while contributing to a more sustainable environment.
