What’s green waste? | TrashLab Glossary
Learn about green waste management and organic processing. TrashLab’s software helps haulers track and manage yard waste efficiently.
Green Waste consists of biodegradable plant materials, such as grass clippings, leaves, branches, and garden trimmings, commonly generated from landscaping and gardening activities. Green waste is typically collected separately from other waste types and can be composted or processed into mulch, which returns valuable nutrients to the soil and reduces landfill use.
Composting green waste minimizes greenhouse gas emissions associated with landfill decomposition and produces a natural soil amendment, supporting sustainable landscaping and agriculture practices. Proper management of green waste reduces environmental impact and helps create a circular system where organic materials are continuously recycled.
