Are you struggling to know what to do with green garden waste? Well, look no further! As professional gardeners based in Surrey, we understand what it means to remove green waste safely and effectively from a garden. Green waste management can not only have a social impact on us and make it impossible to enjoy our outdoor spaces, but it can also impact the environment greatly. Read on to find out how we can assist you when it comes to disposing of your green garden waste.
What Is Green Garden Waste Disposal?
In short, green waste counts as anything that has come from your garden, eg. leaves, twigs, branches and so on. Getting rid of green waste can be tricky, as often, when we garden, we produce a lot of it. Many of us may have green garden waste bins in our homes, but unfortunately, with large amounts of land, it’s typical that these get filled up quickly.
This being said, there are a few different ways that you can get rid of green waste. Making your own garden compost ‘can be quite time consuming but it’s a really effective way of disposing of your garden waste while being environmentally responsible.’
For example, you start your own garden composting scheme, using fallen leaves and other garden debris. You can also take it to your local rubbish sorting facility, where they will sort it for you. Or, you can hire a team of professionals who will do all the work for you. Your gardening team will be able to bag up your green waste whilst working and dispose of it in a way which is environmentally-friendly and effective.
The Environmental Impact of Improper Green Waste Disposal
Improper green waste disposal is a growing problem. One of the main issues is pollution, ‘Improper waste disposal leads to the contamination of air, water, and soil, resulting in severe environmental pollution’. When waste is put into various landfills, without proper containment measures, it can release harmful chemicals that go into the surrounding environment.
Not only that, but if you aren’t getting rid of your green waste correctly, then it can become a health hazard for local wildlife and the environment. With these toxins being released into the atmosphere, it can attract disease-carrying pests like rats, flies, and mosquitoes. It’s important to dispose of your garden waste in a proper and effective manner, as doing it without care can carry significant economic costs at both local and global levels.
As well as affecting the wildlife, green waste disposal is also likely to negatively impact humans. Areas that often suffer with poor waste management tend to be burdened with ‘foul odours, pollution, and decreased property values, leading to a lower quality of life for residents.’ As part of our duty of care, it’s vital that we properly throw away unwanted items.
Hiring a professional team of gardeners to help you will not only save you save, effort and money but it’s also the more sustainable option. As professionals, we understand the implications of improper disposal and are able to get rid of anything unwanted in a clean and environmentally-conscious way.
Local Regulations and Practices
Not only will a professional team have knowledge on proper green waste management in terms of the environment, but they will also know what the local practices are. Based on location, all local regulations are different when it comes to rubbish.
In Surrey, much like in other countys, it is ‘illegal to dump garden waste in parks or wooded areas, or in other places for the council to clean up’. Surrey recommends home composting, speaking to recycling centres or banks and gives strict instructions on how to legally dispose of any garden debris.
Depending on where you live, you will have to research the different regulations and practices. Hiring a professional team can help you navigate this problem all together, as they will already understand the best way to get rid of garden waste in line with your location.
