Best answer:

Answer by Sheila
In my garden – I collect up any green waste and either compost it and then return it to the garden beds or I chop it up and use it as mulch. Why? Because it is good for the soil.

Commercially – green waste is collected and taken to a huge facility where it is either composted or turned into mulch. This compost or mulch is then on-sold to the nursery or farming industries. Why? Because it is more useful in these forms than to go straight to landfill.

City of Ryde – Bundled Green-Waste

Back with the same funny guys on the clean-up, except this time it is all about picking up the green-waste. This is what I found them doing first up that Thursday morning; moving through a few streets and collecting the bundles of tree trimmings. There is plenty of packing involved in this video, including a clip which shows the Heil struggling on some timber. Hope you enjoy the action, all ratings and comments are highly appreciated.

Central Coast Garbage & Green-Waste

This is some old footage I wanted to throw up here, taken in 2008 during my initial visit to Woy Woy for the new Central Coast trucks. I have posted the longer video of the recycling truck and I had seperate videos of both the garbage and recycling, but I decided to take half the footage from each to combine in this single compilation. Also the quality may not be the best, as this footage went through the editing process a few times and the camera lense was pretty dirty – interesting that this was only the camera’s second day on the job!
