When giving your garden a trim, you might be tempted to toss all your waste in one bin. After all, it’s all green waste, right? Even though green waste consists of organic materials, not all of it will degrade in time.
Waste is continually on the rise in Australia, which makes it increasingly important to ensure we are disposing of it properly. Not using the right bins, or the right services to remove your waste can have serious effects not just on our environment, but the quality of life for your local community.
The earth doesn’t have an infinite amount of inhabitable space on it. As time has passed, more and more land has been dedicated to waste disposal. With the population and need for land showing no signs of slowing down, it’s become evident that we need to find another way to deal with waste, as Australia (and the rest of the world) is running out of landfill sites.
If you’ve ever travelled past a landfill site or a composting facility, it’s impossible not to notice the nasty odours emitting from them. It’s hard to believe that usually, pleasant-smelling things like apples, flowers and even water can create such a stench.
Illegal dumping has a detrimental impact on the environment and puts human health and local communities at risk. Does this mean that people have stopped doing it? Unfortunately, not.
