Cost of Removing Green Waste from Your Home

Many types of garden projects result in one thing – a whole bunch of green waste that you need to find a way to dispose of. While the task may seem pretty self-explanatory – you just gather all of those leaves and branches and hire someone to remove them for you, there is actually a lot more that goes into the process, and there are many details that you have to take into consideration.

With that being said, in this article, we are going to discuss everything that you need to know about professional green waste removal.

What is and isn’t considered green waste

Many people think that everything that they end up with after their garden clearance work is considered green waste when in reality, it’s not. Surprisingly enough, there are certain types of garden scraps that are not considered green waste. To make things easier for you, we’ve compiled two lists of what is considered green waste and what isn’t below:

Green waste

Non-green waste

If you aren’t sure that what you have in your garden falls into the category of “green waste”, we recommend asking your chosen disposal company if they can take it prior to booking the green waste removal service.

What happens to green waste after it has been collected

Have you ever thought about what happens to green waste after it has been collected? Where does it go? Is it just dumped somewhere? Does someone recycle it? Does it magically disappear into thin air?

Well, the process of green waste disposal is actually pretty interesting and it goes as follows:

1. After the green waste has been collected from your property, it is relocated to an Organic Resource Recovery Facility (ORRF) or an Advanced Resource Recovery Facility (ARRT), where it will be processed.
2. All of those twigs, leaves, and grass clippings will be checked for contamination from non-organic materials, such as metals, glass, plastic, etc. If such materials are found, they will be manually removed from the green waste.
3. The now “clean” green waste will be then shredded into smaller pieces and stacked in rows. In the following weeks (16-20 to be exact), these rows will be kept moist and manually turned.
4. During these 16-20 weeks, a bunch of microorganisms will start breaking up the organic waste and generating heat. This process, more popularly known as composting, will take care of any existing weeds and nasty pathogens.
5. The generated compost will be graded and “portioned” into the required sizes.
6. The final product is finished compost that can be used in your garden.

As you can see for yourself, it’s a natural cycle, if you will – the green waste is processed through means that help it find its way back to Mother Nature – back into the soil, helping new green life grow and thrive.
