Agricultural Plastic Film

What is Ag Plastic?

If you've ever driven past a farmer's field and seen crops poking out of long black rows, then you've seen agricultural plastic, commonly called film. It is used to suppress weeds and reduce a crop's water demand.

You can Recycle Dirty Ag Plastic?

Yep! Recyclers are able to clean and then recycle it. The plastic is used to make products like garbage bags. In fact, during the 2010 Coastal Cleanup Day all of the bags provided by the County were made from recycled agricultural plastic.
