Orchard & Vineyard Drip Line Recycling Made Easier for California Growers
Save time and reduce costs with Andros Engineering’s drip line removal program — we come to your field and handle material recovery on-site. All you need to do is roll up your drip line, tie with twine, and consolidate in a central location. Our service helps growers avoid the expense of hauling rolls to a landfill or renting roll-off containers. For even greater savings, customers can use the Andros Mega Binder to efficiently roll and consolidate material for pickup.
Cost Comparison
Request a Pickup
Request a pickup through the online portal or ask for Dan Johnston at (805) 227-2801.
Let us know how much material, where it is, and when you’ll be pulling it. With that information, you will receive an email requesting authorization for Andros
to complete the pickup. Sign that and we’ll handle the rest!
Prepping for pickup
Make sure material is free of metal and trash by using twine to tie the rolls. Put your tubing into 1-2 piles in an area able to be accessed by semi-trucks.
Pickup day
We will bring in staff, a tractor, and trucks to haul your material out. Once finished, we will send you the weight tickets for your load(s).
Recycling
Andros will recycle your material, giving it new life as a sustainable raw material for all kinds of plastic products.
