Exporting bale silage

deejer

We were at the Tipp v Cork match in Cork yesterday. On the way into the City we noticed a ship loading round bale silage along the quays. We asked someone where the bales were going and she said Sweden.

While we were at the match we noticed 4/5 flatbed artics driving into the city with loads of bales (we were at the very top of the new south stand if you are familar with Pairc Ui Caoimh).

Anyone know is this a regular thing? Do we export alot of bale silage to Sweden?

Great win for Tipp also by the way

Most likely it was bales of waste plastic. My OH passes there everyday for work. A few of the bales were burst open one day and she said it was just all wrap from silage and the stink was only deadly

It’s rubbish. Literally. Baled rubbish.

More than likely they were bales of waste plastic being shipped for recycling

Bales of material to be recycled. Have also seen going to Limerick Port.

Like this? Snap I took last year near Limerick Dock at a waste disposal company. Don't worry, I thought it was silage too when I saw it first.

shipped to Sweden I believe. We pay for the pleasure of getting rid of the rubbish, where (green) Sweden then burns said rubbish for electricity. They are winning both ways !! Why we cannot just burn it here is beyond me

Yup rubbish. We were importing fodder last year serious amount of containers came into the country. Lads would have a heart attach if they thought silage was exported

They showed an abandoned airfield in England on Countryfile lately that was full of bales of rubbish. Must have been thousands of them
