How to use the momentum?

The answer to green waste....compost!!

Pip

Another answer, Yep.......Time and space, Nope!

I would have thought compost wouldn't be able to process nearly enough.

[misterteddy]

good to see we are concentrating on the big issues....lol...who cares, compost it, store it, bury it, burn it or filtered smoke it....but just clear it

[bittenyakka]

hahaha yeah lets get back on topic

Interesting...Onkaparinga Council have three places you can dump green waste by the trailer load each month, as well as the green waste wheelie bin once a month at the kerb side.

Depending on the type of green waste, Peats Soil at Willunga & Jeffries Garden Soil at Wingfield both do commercial composting by the truck loads.

Ok then if we all need to clean up our gardens etc how do you suppose the Adelaide Hills council should go about green waste removal? currently half the area can burn

Thems as can, offer it to the local brigade for training burns.
Now that cadets are allowed to participate in pile burns, there should be lots of
opportunities.  Burn it in situ, or have them deliver it behind the station.

Or, as others suggest, there are many receivers of green waste. 
Tree lopping companies sell their output as mulch.  Councils, garden suppliers...
Or just let the pile in the corner of the yard compost down on its own. The residual
timber can be given away as firewood.

That pile or rubbish standing in the back corner of the yard is not a great risk.
Certainly far less so than to have that shrubbery still standing around the house.

Ok nice to yo hear that other councils have solutions to this problem.

Please don't suggest any more heaped pile burns about twice a year my brigade become the burn rubbish at a members house for week after week. In short it sucks. But things are changing.

Although large pile burns are great for new members. Its often the first good controlled chance that they get to see fire up close.

And now that the new cadet guidelines allow cadets to attend pile burns...
