Green Waste
Factual Definition of Green Waste
Green waste is organic material found in yards and gardens. These items include grass clippings, fallen leaves, branches and uprooted weeds. Separating these materials from standard trash helps keep natural debris out of landfills where it would release methane gas. Common synonyms include yard waste, biological waste and organic debris.
How Green Waste Is Used in the Waste Industry
Waste facilities process green waste into compost or mulch to return nutrients to the soil. Many cities provide separate curbside bins or designated drop-off spots to ensure these items go to a composting center rather than a landfill. Commercial landscaping companies often use roll off containers to handle large amounts of brush and tree trimmings during major site clearing jobs.
