With low grain prices this season, more farmers opted to store grain on farm than in previous years.
Yarriambiack infrastructure services manager Bernie Naylor said after a very successful harvest there were more grain bags around and council was looking to find ways to recycle them.
“We have been working with the Grampians Centre West Waste and Resource Recovery Group regarding the possibility to recycling grain bags,” he said.
Mr Naylor said farmers could deliver bags to the Warracknabeal Transfer Station, Carines Merchandise in Horsham, WasteBuster in Horsham or Ecowish in St Arnaud.
“The cost will be $10 a bag to assist with transportation costs,” he said.
Mr Nayor said he was pleased there had been a good outcome to the issue.
