#waste bags for garden rubbish

[reasonsforhope]

The new 'compost obligatoire' rules came into force on 1 January 2024. Here's what they entail.

As of 1 January 2024, organic waste recycling is mandatory in France under new 'compost obligatoire' rules.

With support from the government’s Green Fund, municipalities must provide residents with ways to sort bio-waste, which includes food scraps, vegetable peels, expired food and garden waste.

Households and businesses are required to dispose of organic matter either in a dedicated small bin for home collection or at a municipal collection point. Previously, only those who generated over five tonnes of organic waste per year were required to separate it.

The waste will then be turned into biogas or compost to replace chemical fertilisers. Alternatively, it can be composted at home.

The obligation is currently on local authorities to provide an easy means for households to compost or separate organic waste.

While facilities are rolled out, there will not be fines imposed for non-compliance. It is yet to be seen whether stricter rules will be imposed in future. 

One-third of household waste is bio-waste

Organic waste from food and gardens accounts for almost one-third of household waste. When it is mixed with other rubbish, it typically ends up in landfills or incinerators, where it produces heat-trapping greenhouse gases like methane and CO2.

Food waste is responsible for about 16 per cent of the total emissions from the EU food system, according to the European Commission. Globally, food loss and waste generates around 8 per cent of all human-caused emissions annually, the UN says.

It can also contaminate packaging destined for recycling like paper, plastic and glass.

In 2018, only 34 per cent of the EU’s total bio-waste was collected, leaving 40 million tonnes of potential soil nutrients to be discarded, according to NGO Zero Waste Europe.

In France, an estimated 82 kg of compostable waste per person is thrown away each year.

Is bio-waste separation mandatory in other European countries?

Under the EU’s Waste Framework Directive, bio-waste collection is being encouraged this year, but it stops short of setting mandatory targets.

In many European countries, organic waste separation has already been implemented at the municipal level.

Milan in Italy has been running a residential food waste collection programme since 2014. Households were given dedicated bins and compostable bags to kick off the scheme.

Elsewhere, taxes or bans on incinerating bio-waste have encouraged similar schemes, with separate bins and home composting widespread in Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium.

The UK announced plans to roll out separate food waste collection in 2023. It remains voluntary for households in England, but is more strictly enforced in Wales and for business owners.

How to sort your bio-waste

Ideally, all waste - including organic matter - should be kept to a minimum.

This can be achieved through careful meal planning. Consuming, freezing or preserving food before it expires along with using every part of an ingredient also help to reduce waste. Some food waste can even be repurposed into animal feed.

Any food waste that cannot be saved or repurposed should be either composted or separated for collection. This includes uneaten food scraps, baked goods, dairy products, eggshells, fruit and vegetables and their peels, mouldy food, pet food, raw and cooked meat and fish, bones, tea and coffee grounds.

Liquids, non-food products and packaging should not be placed in bio-waste bins.

₊˚⊹ ᰔ Warnings: fox quirk!reader, muzzling, injuries (scratched knees). Touya is around 9 and reader is about 10.

₊˚⊹ ᰔ note: I got some inspo for my oc nd decided to turn it into an insert, it’s very self-indulgent nd actually part of something a little bigger I wanna do T-T

It was a little bit rude of you to interrupt his outside playing, his scooter time in the street outside his house. It was his time to be silly and race the shadows of the pigeons flying above him, his time to scuff his knees and stick his tongue out at the kids walking home from after school club. But you ruined it with your whimpering and pitiful crying, somewhere behind the across-the-street-neighbour’s bins. 

Touya crunches to a halt beside the boxes and cans, hearing shuffling and whining the closer he rolls towards them. He intents to tell you off, that this is his street and not yours, that kids play hide n seek down at the park or in their gardens, and he also intends to chase you away on his scooter, showing you how fast and how crazy he is,

“You’re not allowed back here, it’s dirty and not yours,” he begins, lisp pronounced with the absence of one of his front teeth, “You need to go away,” Touya squats and pushes a bin bag out of the way, socked feet and a plush tail appearing before him. You’re cowering, eyes glistening with tears and nose running, short pointed fangs glinting in the amber light of the afternoon sun. Instead of letting his scooter drop to the floor, Touya gently lowers it to rest against a box of recycling, icicle eyes never leaving yours. You start to cry again when he doesn’t say anything, silent with a wobbling chin. 

There’s a heavy wire muzzle over the lower half of your face. Leather straps cut into your cheeks and stretch over your head between two powdery orange ears tipped in black, flattened to your hair and quivering all over. 

Touya doesn’t say anything, shuffling forwards slowly, grit scratching under his trainers and you, at first, flinch as if about to flee. But there’s something in the way he holds out his sticky fingers and prods the grazes on your knees, face soft and curious and boyish. 

“Did a bully do that?” he’s referring to the muzzle, voice soft and you shrink in on yourself, hiding in the shadows of the bins, “I can help take it off, I bet it hurts alot,”

Your eyes are sharp and calculating, afraid and still flooded with tears, 

“M-my tea-cher,” you stutter through sobs, “I accident-tally scratched -,” you gulp in several heaving hiccups, “I hurt-ed someone, accidentally!” 

Touya spots the short, almost blunt claws at the ends of your fingers, looking more like the long nails his mom would get painted at the salon sometimes. He sits lower in his squat, chin leaning on his folded arms over his knees, watching you and your tail that twitches and flicks to and fro. He knows from watching cats that at least you seem less agitated, allowing him to come closer on his knees and reach for the muzzle, 

“I’m Touya, and my house is just that one there,” he offers just like his mom did when she was dressing a cut knee, talking over the pain and shame just as he knows you must feel, “Do you like banana milk? Mom’s got some in the fridge, you want some? It’ll make you feel better I think,” you allow him to touch you, nine year old hands fumbling with the heavy metal clasps behind your head, “makes me feel better when I get a bad grade at school, or if stupid Natsu’ is being stupid,”

The muzzle comes free and he throws it to the floor, the two of you staring at it with fear and repulsion. After a moment, Touya picks it up again and takes it over to the general waste bin, dumping it unceremoniously into the filthy depths. 

“D’you want that milk then?” you’re crawling out from behind the rubbish, ears up and twitching when he picks up his scooter, “I would get you some plasters for your knees but - wait,” Touya thrusts his toy at you, ignoring your yelp as you catch it clumsily, the handle jutting into your cheek, “I can go get some! Mom left the box on the table!” 

He trips as he rushes through the gate, a little oof! making you giggle into your hand and sending a rosy flush to his cheeks, “Don’t play on my scooter! It’s special!” he doesn’t see you nod, disappearing into his house with a shout of his brother’s name. 

It takes him a little while to return, the sun beginning its descent and the streetlights flickering on while you wait patiently with his scooter. You’ve seen kids at school playing with them, riding them to school far ahead of their parents or older siblings and it makes you a little resentful towards the sleek black car that drops you off every morning and picks you up every afternoon. Except for today. You ran away today, not even taking your school bag, ignoring the shouts of the driver and his panicked phone calls. Tears threaten again and you scrub them away, feeling the welts of the muzzle still present on your cheeks, and it’s Touya’s return that shakes you out of your misery. 

“I got a lot of stuff, but I gotta be quick cause it’s getting dark and dad’ll be so mad,” he shudders at the thought, careful not to trip over the step this time and you catch the carton of banana milk that falls from his arms. Touya drops everything to the floor away; several plasters with aliens on them, a damp dish cloth that has grit on it now, a chocolate bar and a second carton of milk, this one mango flavoured. He squats down to brush off the rag, flicking your skirt out of the open wounds on your knees, cleaning them roughly and a little terribly, sending tears spurting out of your eyes again, 

“Oh m’sorry,” he says quietly, looking up at you and frowning at you rubbing wetly at your cheeks, but you nod through it, encouraging him, “I’ll put the plasters on now, they’re my actual favourite, and you can drink the milk by the way, I got it for you,”

You juggle his scooter and the straw for the milk, successfully piercing the cardboard and sipping with a sniffly nose, giggling when Touya points out his favourite alien and then his least favourite one, blobby and red (“looks like Natsu’ when he was born”). Then, after criss crossing your knees with plasters, he tells you all about his recent birthday and how his scooter was his absolute best present ever, how he’s ridden it every day after school and also on the weekends,

“If you wanna ride it, you can! You don’t cry all loud and gross like the little kids so you’re not that annoying,” Touya stands and opens up the chocolate bar, halving it very badly and handing the larger piece to you, “You could come round tomorrow after school, unless you have a club or study or something but if you don’t come inside, then dad won’t mind,”

“I don’t do clubs after school,” you say with a scratchy voice, “m’not allowed,”

“Oh,” his mouth is full of chocolate and he swallows loudly, goo stuck to his upper lip, “well, that’s okay, that means you can come and play whenever you want, I think I like you alot so I don’t mind if you wanna use it but you are not allowed to go faster than me, I’m the fastest,” Touya’s threat is empty and followed by a big gummy grin, teeth brown and sugary. You nudge him and laugh with your belly, chomping on your own snack and drinking your milk with crinkled eyes, 

“You’re funny Touya, and you're really nice, I think I like you too,”

My family's rest home in Hawkes Bay got power back on Sunday, 6 days after Cyclone Gabrielle knocked it out. It went out for a few hours yesterday and 1 hour today but we were told to expect that.

It's really shown us where the holes in our disaster preparedness are, even though we have passed a dozen Ministry of Health Audits with the disaster kits we had, what the MoH and their auditors say will be sufficient is not. We're starting to stock up on the things we found we needed and when supply lines are better and things are back in stock we'll buy all the things that would have been reeeeeally useful. I'm also getting stuff for my own home kit. I've bought or will buy:

A portable power supply and solar panel charger for it, you can also charge from a car. It has a built in torch and you can charge any USB chargable devices from it several times, you can run a regular appliance from it but that will drain it very quickly.

A solar camping shower. Not very useful if there's no sun but it would have been perfect post cyclone because the weather was gorgeously sunny afterward.

USB chargable camping lights I can charge from my portable power supply.

Headlamps, way easier than a handheld torch.

I bought a little camp stove that runs on butane canisters after the 2017 earthquake here but I realize I did not have anywhere near enough canisters. The canisters last 10 years so I've given all the 6 year old ones ones from my kit to a cousin who was feeding 4 kids on the camp stove and I will stock up majorly on new ones.

Basically raid the camping section of your local department store, if it looks like it would be useful when you're camping with no power then it will be useful in a disaster.

Cash, the power went out, all the card readers were down, people needed cash and all the ATMs emptied out.

Milk powder, you can mix up only the amount you need and not have to worry about refrigeration.

Shelf stable food that is a whole meal on it's own and is easy to cook or heat through on a camp stove or BBQ. You're too exhausted to make a meal out of ingredients and it's too hard to make anything complicated. Also vitamins because the food I'm describing isn't usually very nutritious.

Cooking oil, that's the thing everyone forgot to put in their kits and ran out of from their kitchens.

TOILET PAPER!!!!!! You need a stockpile. It's the first thing shops sell out of. We're going to hide it in the ceiling of the rest home so that we have an emergency stockpile and no one can take off with a few rolls here and there until it's all gone

Baby-wipes. Deodorant. Dry shampoo. Clean underwear. We usually account for drinking water in our disaster planning but you don't know when you will next be able to have a shower or wash clothes.

Heavy duty rubbish bags. When the power goes out the stuff in your fridge and freezer can end up going very nasty. If you can; bury it in your yard (deep enough that animals can't get to it), if not you're going to need to tie it up tight in heavy duty rubbish bags and put them somewhere that they're not in the sun and not going to contaminate anything. Also if it's a flood you're going to have all sorts of fabric things that will be contaminates by flood water and will start to get very smelly very quickly and you'll want to bag up whatever you can. Rubbish is a major issue in Hawkes Bay right now because the main dump was flood damaged, the power was out and people had to throw out loads of spoiled food, a load of ready to harvest crops washed up in places it would be a hazard to leave them rotting, people were clearing out homes where EVERYTHING would have to be trashed because it was contaminated with floodwater that had who knows what in it (in some areas definitely sewerage). The council got 1 waste facility opened up 6 days after the flood but 5 of those days were blazing sun so you can imagine how nasty some of the rubbish is.

Also this is truely nasty but ziplock bags if you don't have a garden you can dig a latrine in, you may have to poo in a bag and you bet you're gonna want to be able to seal it. I have a garden but I'm going to put ziplocks in my disaster kit in case I need to dispose of any waste like used bandages.

I have meds for myself but I'm going to get hold of some basic pet meds. There's a lot of dogs in Hawkes Bay who are getting gastro bugs right now because their owners have taken them for walks in areas where the flood water's have gone down and it's dried out, but the silt is still there. The dogs have gotten contaminated silt on their paws, licked their paws, and now they're getting sick. I wouldn't take my dogs out where they might come into contact with contaminants but I want a few basic meds just in case it's unavoidable. Plus one of my dogs is on an anti-seizure prescription and it didn't even occur to me that I should put some of her prescription meds in the disaster kit with a spares of our prescriptions.

Why Rubbish Skips Are Essential For Large Garden Projects?

A Garden Project Without the Mess?

So, you’ve got grand plans for your garden—a total overhaul, a major landscaping project, or even a substantial clean-up.

The excitement is palpable, and the vision is clear, but then reality hits the mess. What’s the best way to handle all that waste without turning your backyard into a chaotic junkyard?

Enter rubbish skips in Christchurch. They’re not just a convenience but a game-changer for any large-scale garden project.

The Power of a Skip

Streamline Your Cleanup

Renting a rubbish skip in Christchurch can be surprisingly economical. Many services offer flexible rental periods, so you only pay for what you need.

Plus, it's often cheaper than the combined expense of fuel and tipping fees, not to mention the value of your time.

A rubbish skip in Christchurch neatly contains all your waste in one designated spot. This keeps your project area tidy and ensures that your garden remains functional and safe throughout the work.

Efficient Workflow

Managing waste can disrupt your project flow. With a skip, you minimise interruptions—no more pausing to haul bags of rubbish or getting sidetracked by multiple trips.

Instead, you can focus on the creative aspects of your garden makeover, knowing that the waste is being handled efficiently and professionally.

Finding the Right Skip for Your Needs

Choosing the Right Size

One size doesn’t fit all regarding rubbish skips in Christchurch. Depending on the scale of your project, you might need a small skip for a light cleanup or a large one for extensive work.

Most skip rental companies offer a range of sizes, so you can select the one that best fits your needs.

Reliable Service Providers

To ensure a smooth experience, choose a reputable provider for your rubbish skip in Christchurch.

Look for companies with positive reviews and a track record of reliability. Good service will include timely drop-off and pick-up and clear instructions on what can and can’t be disposed of in the skip.

In Conclusion

A large garden project is thrilling, but it comes with challenges—the chief one is managing the waste.

Rubbish skips in Christchurch offer a practical, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution to keep your project on track.

By incorporating a skip into your plans, you’ll streamline your cleanup, maintain a cleaner work environment, and focus more on turning your garden dreams into reality.

Role That Technology Plays In Efficient Bulk Waste Collection

One significant challenge that waste management companies face is bulk waste collection. This is a more substantial challenge than hazardous waste because the components of this waste cannot be sold, donated or recycled. It is a challenge because the items disposed of as bulk waste are too big for skip bins. The best examples of bulk waste can be furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, carpets, windows and garden waste, etc. Let us understand how to handle bulk waste collection in Adelaide with the help of waste management companies.

HOW IS BULK WASTE COLLECTION HANDLED?

Companies offering waste collection services in any city are responsible for bulk waste collection for a tiny fee instead of operation and transportation expenses. Here are some common disposal methods steps they have adopted for regular bulk waste collection.

Retailer take-back – removal of your old appliance, furniture or kitchen

House clearance – use a house clearance company

Council dump – drive it to your civic amenity site, tip or household waste & recycling centre.

Council collection – book a bulky waste collection from your council

Man & van clearance – use a specialist rubbish clearance contractor

Skip hire/Skip bag – use a skip bag or hippo bag

Burn it – have a bonfire in your garden

Eco-Friendly Rubbish Removal Practices for a Sustainable Byron Bay

Byron Bay is a beautiful and unique place, and we all want to do our part to keep it that way. One way to do this is by practicing eco-friendly rubbish removal. Here are a few tips:

Reduce, reuse, and recycle. This is the golden rule of eco-friendly living, and it applies to rubbish removal too. Try to reduce the amount of rubbish you produce in the first place by buying less stuff, using reusable bags, and composting food scraps. When you do produce rubbish, make sure to recycle as much as possible.

Compost your food scraps. Food scraps make up a large portion of our rubbish, but they can easily be composted instead. Composting is a great way to reduce your environmental impact and create nutrient-rich soil for your plants.

Reuse items whenever possible. Before you throw something away, think about whether you can reuse it. For example, you can reuse glass jars for storing food, plastic bags for carrying groceries, and cardboard boxes for shipping items.

Recycle paper, cardboard, and metal. These materials can be easily recycled, so there's no excuse to throw them away. Make sure to recycle your newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes, and metal cans.

Dispose of hazardous materials properly. Some items, such as batteries, paint, and electronics, contain hazardous materials that can pollute the environment if they're not disposed of properly. Check with your local council to find out how to dispose of these items safely.

By following these tips, you can help to make Byron Bay a more sustainable place.

In conclusion, Byron Bay's beauty and uniqueness are treasures we all cherish and wish to protect. Eco-friendly rubbish removal is not just a responsibility but an essential part of our commitment to preserving this remarkable place. As we've explored, there are several simple yet impactful ways to contribute to this mission.

First and foremost, the mantra of "reduce, reuse, and recycle" should guide our daily practices. This applies not only to our consumption habits but also to how we manage our waste. By reducing the amount of rubbish we produce, using reusable items, and ensuring diligent recycling, we minimize our environmental footprint.

Composting food scraps is another powerful step towards sustainability. By diverting these scraps from landfills, we not only reduce waste but also create nutrient-rich soil for our gardens, contributing to a healthier ecosystem.

The concept of reuse should always be in our minds before discarding items. Glass jars, plastic bags, cardboard boxes, and countless other items can often be given a second life with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness.

Recycling paper, cardboard, and metal is one of the simplest yet most impactful actions we can take. These materials are easily recycled, and our commitment to recycling them can significantly reduce the strain on landfills.

Lastly, it's crucial to dispose of hazardous materials properly. Batteries, paint, electronics, and other items containing hazardous materials should never find their way into regular waste bins. Local councils often provide resources and guidelines for safe disposal.

In practicing these eco-friendly rubbish removal tips, each of us becomes an integral part of Byron Bay's sustainability efforts. By nurturing a culture of environmental consciousness and responsible waste management, we not only keep Byron Bay beautiful but also ensure its longevity as a sustainable and harmonious place for future generations to enjoy. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact on this extraordinary community and its breathtaking natural surroundings.
