Green Waste Solutions in

Greenville, South Carolina

Green waste is any waste product that is biodegradable and can be composted. Think of branches, grass clippings, bushes, shrubs, garden waste, or food waste. Green waste is different from typical landfill waste because it is 100% biodegradable and, in the case of yard waste, can be recycled for reuse. However, it’s important to note the composting process takes time and can be smelly. You can certainly have a composting bin at your home for your weekly food scraps, but the larger yard debris might be harder to manage. If you’re looking for support with your green waste, rely on the professionals at Ever Green Environmental!


Benefits of Recycling Green Waste

If you’re currently adding green waste to your household trash — stop! When green waste sits in landfills, it can be harmful to both our landfill system and the environment around Greenville. It not only takes up large amounts of space, which is already limited due to loads of waste, but also emits harmful gases, such as methane, into the environment. Properly recycling your green waste in Anderson, SC can reduce the amount of waste in our landfills, avoid damaging the environment, and provide benefits like:

  • Creating quality compost and mulch
  • Reducing odors in the air
  • Freeing up land space
  • Reducing global warming
  • Maintaining wildlife habitats

As the spring season approaches and you find yourself doing some yard work, or if you have large amounts of food scraps every week that you want composted, remember to avoid throwing away your green waste in the trash. Instead, reach out to us at Ever Green Environmental to recycle your green waste responsibly and help keep the upstate areas environmentally safe.
