Ever found yourself staring at a pile of garden clippings, old leaves, and branches, wondering what to do with it all? You’re not alone. But before you think about sending it off to the great landfill in the sky, let’s look at green waste recycling and garden waste removal – a solution that’s not only better for the planet but beneficial for your garden too.
What Exactly is Green Waste Recycling?
Approximately 20% of methane emissions are attributed to poor waste management from landfills.
In a nutshell, green waste recycling is about turning your garden waste into something useful instead of letting it clog up landfills. Green waste includes all those bits of your garden that you prune, trim, or fall naturally – even those pesky leaves that seem to be on a mission in autumn!
Recycling this green waste is crucial, not just because it’s an eyesore but because it can also be deceptively slippery underfoot or clog your drains and gutters (which is just damage and dollar signs waiting to happen!)
When organic waste ends up in landfills, it decomposes without oxygen, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than CO2. Methane is a pollutant that contributes to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere and leaving carbon dioxide behind as it breaks down through oxidation.
So, What Goes In The Green Bin?
Not everything in your garden is ready for the green waste comeback tour. Typical green light materials include grass clippings, leaves, flowers, and even the branches you’ve pruned. Food scraps such as fruit and veg peels, tea bags and eggshells etc.
But, let’s clear the air: soil, sand, rocks, tree stumps and wooden planks don’t belong in the green bin.
How to Recycle Your Green Waste Like a Pro
For the busy bees, home composting is a fantastic way to start. It’s like cooking but for your garden, turning waste into gold (well, nutrient-rich soil, but just as valuable). Or, if you’re a social butterfly, check out community composting programs throughout Melbourne.
