Sometimes You Can’t Go Green, Especially When It’s In An Outdoor Commercial Dumpster

"It’s Not Easy Being Green” is a kids’ song made famous by Kermit the Frog on the popular Sesame Street television series. Kermit sings about his insecurity of being the same color of leaves in the song. Interestingly,  it’s also not easy being green leaves or green yard waste for that matter, especially when you’re in an outdoor waste dumpster. From homeless individuals to dead animals, outdoor waste enclosures attract numerous beings and things where they should not be. You can add green outdoor landscape and yard waste to the list.

The Environmental Protection Agency, along with many cities and states across the United States prohibit waste haulers from taking yard waste to landfills for numerous reasons. One is the fact that yard waste takes up valuable space in the landfills. Another is that yard waste produces methane, a gas that is both toxic and highly explosive.

In the state of California there are some municipalities where green landscape waste needs to be disposed of in a separate container from other waste. The same hauler may also be able to collect both of the two wastes, yet in different containers.

A restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida recently experienced this phenomena, when they discovered green landscape waste in their outdoor dumpster. “The restaurant had no idea how the landscape waste got into their dumpster, since they do not have surveillance cameras near their outdoor waste enclosure,” commented Adi Andrews, Escalations and Sales Specialist, Waste Cost Solutions.

We frequently experience seeing yard and landscape waste in an outdoor commercial dumpster quite regularly with our customers. This happens about one to two times every couple of months, noted Andrews. Since the regular hauler cannot handle this issue in most cases, we normally contact a junk hauler to remove the landscape waste. We try to turn this as promptly as possible to alleviate any future waste issues at the establishment, concluded Andrews.
