Learning Activities 1. Why do you need to know the different ways to remove landscape wastes and other materials in the yard?

2. What are the benefits of removal and disposal of landscape wastes and other materials?

3. Why is it important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment in the removal and disposal of landscape wastes and other materials?

The manufacturing, selection and use of materials is often a consumptive and wasteful process. Each phase of a material’s life cycle requires energy and can produce harmful air, water and soil pollutants and waste products. Nevertheless, homeowners and gardeners can minimize the waste, energy consumption and pollution associated with extraction and manufacturing processes by limiting the use of new materials and other products.

It’s best to start with the old adage “reduce, reuse, recycle” as a way of practice. Downsizing a landscaping project to reduce the amount of materials, redesigning the project to reuse previously used materials, or finding ways to recycle materials are all first steps in the sustainable design process. Another alternative solution is to salvage and reuse materials discarded by neighbor or friend, perhaps in a new and novel way.

Retaining existing materials avoids costs for demolition, transportation and the disposal of demolished materials in a landfill. This practice can also create a unique sense of place and connect users to the garden or landscape. If you are buying new, opt for natural, untreated, least toxic and recyclable products made locally. A growing number of “certified green” products are becoming available, simplifying things for consumers. And you can promote recycling by buying products with recycled content, which are generally less expensive than virgin raw materials.
