Green waste
Green waste refers to biodegradable materials originating from plants and yard maintenance, such as grass clippings, leaves, shrub trimmings, and garden plants. These materials are organic and can be composted or recycled into nutrient-rich soil amendments. Proper disposal of green waste helps reduce landfill volume, promotes sustainable gardening, and supports environmental health. It is commonly collected separately from other waste types or can be composted at home, turning garden debris into valuable compost for plants. Green waste management is an essential part of environmentally responsible waste practices, contributing to healthier soil and ecosystems.
