Description
Nowadays, small garden households generate too much garden green waste, which is often incinerated by owners (at the same time polluting the air). (The home incineration of garden waste has become illegal since November, 2019, concerning the degree of local government of Pécs). Another problem is the large tree branches. It is hard to deliver them to the waste management sites or put them into the green waste trash bins. The most obvious solution is burning in the gardens (that is not allowed). The EIS provide shredder machines for rent for crushing green waste. Hence, large tree branches become easily compostable at home (or can be easily delivered to green trash bins). The machines can be rented from the operator (of the waste management company) with professional person on request.
Objective
Treatment of green waste generated in households (usually in suburbs). Prevent burning of green waste.
