Green waste is biodegradable waste that is composed of garden or yard waste, such as leaves, branches under 4 inches in diameter, grass or flower cuttings and hedge trimmings, from residential and commercial sources. Once chipped and ground, green waste can be recycled into organic matter that can be used for composting, anaerobic digestion or gasification.
Both wood waste and green waste are processed at the Pacific Recycling Solutions’ Ukiah facility. After any contaminants are removed, wood and green waste is processed through a grinder and used in a variety of ways including compost production, landscaping materials, and electricity generation.
