WHAT IS GREEN WASTE RECYCLING?

Climate change is becoming a bigger issue every year as green groups and protestors put pressure on governments around the world to commit to targets and initiatives that will reduce greenhouse gases.

As individuals and businesses, we can do our bit to recycle whenever we can. Local councils already encourage us to recycle plastics, glass, metals, paper and cardboard at home and at work to help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill sites.

What is Green Waste?

Green waste, also commonly referred to as garden waste, is any organic waste that is biodegradable and can be composted. Typically, it includes garden refuse such as grass cuttings, leaves, twigs, weeds and flowers.

Kitchen waste such as fruit and vegetable scraps, tea bags, coffee grounds and eggshells can also be included in your green waste. Non-compostable food waste like meat, fish bones, cooked food and dairy products have to be placed in the food waste bin.

Similarly, things like dried leaves, pine straw and hay are considered to be ‘brown waste’ because they’re rich in carbon, whereas green wastes contain high concentrations of nitrogen.

Collection of green waste

Green waste can be collected via municipal curbside collection schemes or through private waste management businesses. Many communities, especially in the United Kingdom, have initiated green waste recycling and collection programs in order to decrease the amount of biodegradable materials in landfills. Communities are provided with, or can provide their own, compost receptacles that they fill with plant and food remains, which are then emptied on a regular basis. Programs such as this allow communities to be an active part of composting their green waste which allows them to play an active role in decreasing the amount of food being dumped into local and regional landfills.
