Plan greenhouse waste around crop residues, growing media, pots, irrigation liquids and chemical containers. Keep diseased or chemically affected material identifiable before agreeing reuse or composting.
Information to gather
- Record the crop, treatments and contaminants associated with discarded material.
- Ask a receiver whether it accepts the particular substrate, pots and films.
- Check the site's controls and approvals before planning on-site composting or liquid disposal.
What to check before deciding
Do not describe on-site composting as automatically cheapest or suitable. Account for space, runoff, odour, plant-health issues and handling costs; get specialist advice where disease or chemical contamination is involved.
Victorian industrial waste must be classified and sent to a lawful receiving place. See EPA Victoria - Understand your waste obligations and duties.
