==Summary==

Green Waste is biological [[Organic Waste]] that originates from a garden or similar origin such as horticultural activities. [[WRAP]] figures for [[Organic Waste]] suggest that around 6,400,000 tonnes arise from households, and 4,200,000 tonnes from [[C&I Waste]]<ref>[http://www.wrap.org.uk/collections-and-reprocessing/recovered-materials-markets/reports/market-situation-reports-organics [[WRAP]] Most Recent Organics Market Report]</ref>. ~~That~~ proportion of [[Local Authority ~~Collected Waste]] reported as~~ Garden Waste ~~collected~~ for England<ref>[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/877973/LACW_mgt_annual_Stats_Notice_Dec_2018_v4.pdf [[DEFRA]] Statistics on Waste Managed by Local Authorities 2017/18]</ref> ~~was~~ 3,800,000 tonnes (and is estimated at around 4,600,000 tonnes for the UK as a whole from [[Organic Waste]] data).

Under [[Simpler Recycling]]<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/news/simpler-recycling-collections-and-tougher-regulation-to-reform-waste-system</ref> [[Garden Waste]] is defined as all organic material from the garden except:

* ash

* full-sized trees

* invasive weeds and species

* soil

* turf cuttings

* waste products of animal origin

==[[MSW]] Collection Types==

Green Waste ~~is and~~ is collected as part of a [[Waste Collection Authority]] Household Waste Collection Service. It can be collected in a variety of ways, sometimes collected co-mingled with [[Food Waste]] [[Food Comingled]] [[Green Comingled]] and is either collected weekly or fortnightly depending on the service offered by the local [[Waste Collection Authority]] and the [[Collection System Design]].

It can be collected in a variety of ways, sometimes collected co-mingled with [[Food Waste]] [[Food Comingled]] [[Green Comingled]] and is either collected weekly or fortnightly depending on the service offered by the local [[Waste Collection Authority]] and the [[Collection System Design]].

Following the introduction of the [[Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012]] as amended Waste Collection Authorities are now able to charge for the collection of Green Waste if they wish to do so. This has led to two types of arrangements being implemented across the country for the collection of Green Waste:

Line 34:

*'''Charged Collection''' or [[Green Charged]] - Many authorities have moved to a charged system, mainly driven by a desire to recover the cost of collection from those that use it the most, but also due to the perception that free collection leads to an increase in collected waste and a reduction in, for example, home composting.

The design of a [[Green Waste]] collection service by a [[Waste Collection Authority]] cannot be taken in isolation and must be considered alongside the collection of the [[Residual Waste]], [[Dry Mixed Recyclables|Dry Mixed Recycling]] and [[Food Waste]] collection service (where these individual services exist) as part of a [[Collection System Design]].

In some instances, a [[Waste Collection Authority]] may choose to only operate the Green Waste collection service over a certain period i.e. between March-November inclusive or indeed choose to suspend the service for the December/early January “Christmas period”.

Green Waste is also handled by the [[Waste Disposal Authority]] at a [[Household Waste Recycling Centre]] which allows the public to bring their larger quantities of Green Waste to be bulked up for onward [[treatment]].

Bin systems/approaches mighty include:

* [[Wheelie Bin]]

* Reusable Sack

* Compostable Sack
