Hand in garden and park waste (green waste) for disposal
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you collect garden and park waste separately from residual waste, this has several advantages for the environment: you reduce the amount of residual waste and make it easier to dispose of the residual waste. Separate collection simplifies the high-quality recycling of biowaste through fermentation. In addition, the humus components and nutrients contained in the biowaste can be returned to the natural cycle as fermentation substrate or compost.
