Green & Organic Waste Organic waste is simply anything that has
lived and died whether it be animal or vegetable, hair, eggs or
apple peelings. Green waste is also organic waste, but tends to
refer only to 'green' garden waste such as grass cuttings and
hedge clippings, etc. Most household waste is organic - over 40%
by weight of the average domestic wheelie bin. A lot of this
waste could be kept out of the bin and either put in a domestic
compost bin or a wormery to produce compost and liquid feed. One
exception is waste meat/animal products. Because of the
potential risk of passing on diseases associated with meat
products, this waste type should only be managed in industrial
type compost facilities. 2005 Survey on Home Composting Summer
2005 saw an Island wide survey to provide much needed
information about public perceptions of and participation in,
home composting. The survey report and its conclusions can be
read in the document below. |Terms & Conditions||©2013 Crown
