So, for this blog, we are going to talk about what you can and cannot put in your organic bin, assuming you do have one. This is also a way to encourage businesses to be more aware of their spending and the environment, at the same time.

Additionally, we will also pitch in our own organic waste bin services you can avail all throughout the metro regions of Australia. Read on to learn more.

Always Sort Out Your Organic Bin

A bin for organic waste will tremendously help you in all sorts of ways! But, not many will know that since, unfortunately, a majority of the country lacks the knowledge when it comes to waste management sorting and processes.

First, it should be noted that – in the opinion of Waster which many will agree – we should decrease the amount of waste going into landfills, therefore freeing up plenty of space. This practice includes resource recovery and recycling. The materials can then be either reused, utilised as energy, or recycled.

And, stating all of this, one good example of this practice is getting an organic waste bin to divert the waste going into a landfill. Furthermore, like any other types of bin services, the waste should be regulated (i.e., be aware of what you put in the bin; there are those you can and cannot put in there).

Additional Information On Sorting Waste

You will have a hard time if you do not sort out your waste – organic waste included. First, recycling is only viable if the waste is of the same type or classification. Mixed recyclables will be difficult and costly to recycle, in fact.

Additionally, facilities may reject the recyclables if a significant amount of non-recyclables infiltrate the recycling stream.

This especially applies to organics waste. As mentioned above, there are wastes you can and cannot put in the organic waste bin. In the next section, we will enumerate what you can and cannot put in the bin.

Bendigo

In other news, I would like to talk about the organic bin of Bendigo. Their residents enjoy the fortnightly collection service for their food and organics waste. As stated above, it is very important to divert organics from landfills and not throw it in the general waste bin because not doing so will cause a lot of problems.

First and foremost, when we put organic waste into a landfill, it will eventually break down. The process – called anaerobic decomposition – creates dangerous substances. The first is a liquid called leachate that can contaminate groundwater. Furthermore, it also produces two potent greenhouse gases: methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Now, going back to the subject of Bendigo’s organics collection service, it started in 2016 with the aim of, as already stated above, diverting organic waste from landfill and recycling them in the process.

But, this only applies to households. Businesses in Bendigo do not have such service available to them. Instead, they should look at acquiring the services of a waste management company. Waster can provide all of that!
