Register collection of organic waste
Description
If you collect biodegradable waste (organic kitchen waste and garden waste) separately from the residual waste, this has several advantages for the environment: you reduce the amount of residual waste and make it easier to dispose of the residual waste. Separate collection simplifies the high-quality recycling of biowaste through fermentation. In addition, the humus components and nutrients contained in the biowaste can be returned to the natural cycle as fermentation substrate or compost.
Is it organic waste from your private household and does your public waste disposal authority offer to collect your organic waste (e.g. organic waste garbage can)?
