A green waste skip bin is used for organic tree and plant waste – basically any garden waste that’s biodegradable. This skip for garden waste can contain shrubs, branches, palm fronds and leaves, and grass clippings.
Piles of dried grass and branches can:
- be a bushfire hazard
- block pipes and drains when it rains or floods
- create a nest for rats, mice, spiders, snakes and other animals.
Additionally, green waste in landfill can rot and release more gases into the atmosphere.
So it’s essential to dispose of green waste as carefully as other types of waste.
