The Importance of Proper Green Waste Disposal

• You can make compost that you’ll be using on your garden or landscape from your old grass clippings.

• Hire a bin to handle it because they take it to green centres that will put them to further use.

• Take it to a local Adelaide gardening centre yourself.

Ensure you use proper green waste disposal methods because:

Recycling

This is the process where an item or material is used again or to make new products. Often, the items associated with recycling are bottles, cans, glass etc. Green waste can be put to further use because it’s made of organic material. 

Organic waste decomposes and can nourish any garden or landscape it’s used in. You can use those grass clippings, barks etc., that you’ve been throwing away in your garden again. And if you don’t want to use them, you can always donate or give them out to centres that will. 

Cheaper

Proper green waste disposal saves you money in numerous ways. But, unfortunately, fertiliser and compost can be quite expensive, especially if you’re only gardening as a leisure activity. 

If you’re looking for ways to reduce the cost of your garden, you can become self-sufficient. Use the organic waste you get from your garden to make compost. When you start making your compost, you’ll notice reduced costs.

Food scraps also qualify as green waste so that you can add them to your compost pile. Another way you can save money from efficient waste disposal is through rubbish dump fees. 

Disposing of your green waste at the landfill attracts some extra costs and levies. However, simple green waste disposal methods won’t cost you a lot.

One method is by putting your green waste in a hired bin. Hiring bins from Metro Waste ensures that your green waste is processed in eco-friendly ways and recycled in Adelaide.

Landfills

Green waste and landfills are an awful combination. Toxic gases are produced at the landfill regularly, and when green waste enters the mix, it adds to the problem. 

During decomposition, organic waste releases gases such as methane — a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases contribute to climate change, and we must control their production.

Adelaide green centres know how to process green waste to prevent the produced gases from escaping into the atmosphere. However, this kind of care isn’t given to organic waste at landfills. Instead, it is processed along with the other waste they receive. 

Reduces Waste

Think of the amount of household waste you dispose of weekly, the majority of which comprises food waste. Of course, you can’t stop eating; however, you can add your food scraps to your green waste pile or bin and dispose of them together.
