2.  Entire Recycling uses tires from Nebraska and Missouri.

Old & New

From old pipe, that could have ended up in a landfill, to the making of a plastic sheet or roll for new construction and products, Sandhill does it’s part to help out!

Our plastic sheeting can be made from several recycled products, including irrigation and aeration pipe.

At Sandhill Plastics, we get calls all the time from area farmers, businesses, or grain bins, who are wanting to dispose of the pipe, but don’t want to take it to the landfill and just have it clog up the earth!

So, as a commitment to the EARTH, we take the pipe, grind it and put it into our operation.

If you are interested in this, please call Joni in the office and she will help give you specifics.

NOTE:

We are not a recycling facility, we simply use 100% recycled products in our manufacturing process, and are able to take the pipe.  It must be HDPE and it must be cleared with Sandhill Plastics before bringing to the facility for drop- off.

Attention!

Just a quick reminder to all of our customers…

Our plastic MUST be fastened with a plastic rivet, nail, stainless steel screw or galvanized screw.

It simply won’t let glue, caulk or silicone stick to it.  So please don’t rely on those to hold the plastic in place.

You may caulk to waterproof, but please do not rely on that to keep in place.  Expansion and Contraction of the plastic will cause it to break away from the glue, caulk or silicone.

Paint will not stick to the plastic either- in time it will peel right off.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Shipping & BOL

Published on 25 March 2010 by Sandhill in Internal News

Please make sure to check over all freight when it arrives to your facility, farm or home.

If there is damage, please note it on the BOL.  Then it can be replaced.

If there is no damage noted on the BOL, it is assumed by all parties including Sandhill Plastics and the freight company, once the bill is signed, there is not a problem with the shipment and you, the customer, take full responsibility for the shipment.

Below is a definition from the web that explains in greater detail exactly what the BOL stands for and how it is important:

A bill of lading (sometimes referred to as a BOL,or B/L) is a document issued by a carrier to a shipper, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified. A through bill of lading involves the use of at least two different modes of transport from road, rail, air, and sea. The term derives from the verb “to lade” which means to load a cargo onto a ship or other form of transportation.

The standard short form bill of lading is evidence of the contract of carriage of goods and it serves a number of purposes:

  • It is evidence that a valid contract of carriage, or a chartering contract, exists, and it may incorporate the full terms of the contract between the consignor and the carrier by reference (i.e. the short form simply refers to the main contract as an existing document, whereas the long form of a bill of lading (connaissement intégral) issued by the carrier sets out all the terms of the contract of carriage);
  • It is a receipt signed by the carrier confirming whether goods matching the contract description have been received in good condition (a bill will be described as clean if the goods have been received on board in apparent good condition and stowed ready for transport); and
  • It is also a document of transfer, being freely transferable but not a negotiable instrument in the legal sense, i.e. it governs all the legal aspects of physical carriage, and, like a cheque or other negotiable instrument, it may be endorsed affecting ownership of the goods actually being carried. This matches everyday experience in that the contract a person might make with a commercial carrier like FedEx for mostly airway parcels, is separate from any contract for the sale of the goods to be carried, however it binds the carrier to its terms, irrespectively of who the actual holder of the B/L, and owner of the goods, may be at a specific moment.
