Tips, Facts, and Solutions to Managing Green Waste and Garden Waste

As our gardens flourish and our landscaping projects progress, so does the accumulation of green waste. Understanding the importance of proper garden waste and green yard waste management can significantly reduce our environmental footprint.

Easy Skip Hire & Rubbish Removal love this planet and we prioritise disposing of green and garden waste efficiently, effectively and sustainably.

What Is Green Waste?

Green waste encompasses biodegradable material from our gardens, yards, and kitchen including items such as:

  1. Grass Clippings: clippings from a mown lawn are the most common green waste
  2. Leaves: Fallen leaves from trees and shrubs are excellent green waste for composting
  3. Plants & Flower Cuttings: Pruned branches, hedge clippings, or spent blooms
  4. Weeds: Better in the compost pile than your garden beds
  5. Herbaceous Plants: Non-woody plants like annual flowers and herbs
  6. Kitchen Scraps: Leftover vegetable parts like carrot tops or potato peels
  7. Eggshells: Great to powder and then compost
  8. Tea Bags & Coffee Grounds: These are biodegradable and can be composted

🌿 Properly managed, this waste can transform into valuable compost, contributing to soil health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, notably methane, which is far more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its impact on global warming.🌱

Composting: Turning Waste into Resource

One of the most environmentally friendly methods of disposing of green waste is through composting. This process allows organic matter to decompose naturally, creating a nutrient-rich fertiliser that benefits your garden significantly by enhancing soil structure and fertility. Untreated cardboard, old toilet rolls and even scraps of paper can be composted as they are made from trees and decompose naturally.

Recycling Green Waste

Local councils and waste management services play a pivotal role in the recycling of green waste. This material is collected, processed to remove any non-compostable items, and then shredded and composted. Through this method, garden waste contributes positively to the environment by returning to the earth and supporting new plant growth.

Non-Acceptable Green Waste Materials

While most organic waste from your garden or yard can be composted or recycled, certain items such as rocks, large stumps, and biodegradable plastics are unsuitable for green waste bins. Separating acceptable from non-acceptable materials ensures efficient processing and reduces the risk of contamination.

The Impact of Illegal Dumping

Irresponsible disposal, or dumping of green waste, can lead to significant environmental problems, including pest infestations and blocked waterways leading to flooding. It is also illegal and subject to heavy fines. Proper disposal through council collection services or professional rubbish removal companies like Easy Skip Hire & Rubbish Removal ensures safe, legal handling of your garden waste.
