UPDATE 12/7/18 - Agriplast is no longer collecting supersacks. LIVE will work to find another solution to this and email the membership when we have one. Please check back.
Low-density polyethylene (#4 plastic) can show up in the winery as pallet wrap, sheet plastic (on pallets of glass, for example), bubble wrap, some shipping air cushions, cork bags, and more.
LIVE wineries are continuing this recycling option for all Willamette Valley wineries (regardless of LIVE status) that do not have a convenient solution for these plastics. To facilitate greater recycling rates, a few wineries have offered to act as recycling hubs, please read the general and hub-specific guidelines that follow, and spread the word.
Please extend a BIG thanks to our hubs when availing of this service and for paying the new $25 pickup fee!
