Skip bin hire for garden, green and organic waste.

Gardening is a good way to relax and connect with nature. Few things are more satisfying than growing your own food and seeing how a tiny seed turns into a mighty tree. Like everything else, this activity requires some planning.

Take garden waste removal, for example. You can’t simply put lawn clippings, branches, and leaves into the trash bin and forget about them.

Green waste can become a hazard if handled inappropriately. It could catch fire, contaminate the water, block the drains, or alter biodiversity. But what is green waste in the first place?

The term “green waste” defines any organic waste that can be recycled via the composting process. It accounts for 12 per cent of all organic waste in Australia. Once recycled, it can be used to create products that improve soil health.

Green waste material includes pretty much everything that comes from your backyard or garden. Lawn clippings, loose bark, weeds, branches, sticks, and trees are just a few examples. Floral decorations, hedge trimmings, and Christmas trees fall into this category too.

Garden chemicals, such as pesticides and herbicides, are not green waste. The same goes for treated or coated wood, rocks, metal, glass, dirt, or bricks. Therefore, you cannot put them out for green waste collection.

When you use skip bin hire services, green waste is transported to recovery facilities where it’s composted over several weeks to kill pathogens and weed seeds. Then it’s used to improve soil productivity, suppress weeds, and more.

Green waste composting has been shown to suppress root rots and other soil-borne diseases. Furthermore, it nourishes growing plants and can be used to produce biogas, which can be used as biofuel.
