20 02 Garden and park waste (including cemetery waste)
Garden and park waste, including cemetery waste, is a significant challenge for modern society. Every year, the amount of this waste grows, which creates new problems for the environment and human health. The waste that remains after the care of parks, gardens and cemeteries has a diverse composition: it can be plant residues, soil, wood, flowers and other materials. This composition complicates their management and processing. The mixing of organic and inorganic components, as well as hazardous materials such as chemical fertilizers and plastic flower waste, makes this waste difficult for traditional recycling methods.
Methods of ecological management of garden and park waste (including cemetery waste) must take into account several main aspects, such as environmental safety, economic efficiency and social acceptability. However, today many communities face difficulties in implementing these methods. One of the main problems is the large amount of waste generated during seasonal work in gardens and parks. This is especially true in the fall, when fallen leaves and branches take up considerable space.
The second important problem is the imperfection of the waste collection and sorting system. Often, organic and inorganic components are mixed, which complicates their further processing and reduces opportunities for recycling. In addition, the collection of garden and park waste is often carried out in violation of environmental regulations, which can lead to environmental pollution. Waste management, collection and processing services: Garden and park waste (including cemetery waste) NPV code 20 02.
Cemetery waste is also a significant environmental problem. Old wreaths, plastic flowers and other artificial materials left on graves decompose over decades, contaminating soil and water resources. This is especially relevant for cemeteries located in rural areas, where there are no systems of centralized collection and processing of such waste.
Garden and park waste (including cemetery waste). Code according to the National List of Waste 20 02. Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R1, R5.
A pity for the environment and people
Garden and park waste management (including cemetery waste) has a significant impact on the environment. Organic waste, such as leaves, grass and twigs, when decomposed release greenhouse gases, particularly methane, which contribute to global warming. In addition, inorganic waste, such as plastic flowers or other decorative elements, can pollute soil and water resources because these materials are not biodegradable.
An important aspect is also the risk of environmental pollution by chemicals contained in fertilizers and pesticides used in gardens and parks. Getting into the soil or water resources, these substances can harm vegetation, animal life and even human health. Thus, improper management of garden and park waste can cause serious environmental problems.
Special care should be taken with cemetery waste, as it may contain dangerous chemical compounds used in embalming. Such compounds can penetrate into the soil and aquifers, which poses a threat to the environment and human health.
Pity for people
Operations for collecting, sorting, crushing and processing garden and park waste (including cemetery waste) can have a negative impact on human health. The most obvious harm is the effect on the respiratory system. The decomposition of organic waste is accompanied by the release of dust, fungal spores and other allergens that can cause respiratory diseases such as asthma or allergies.
Inhalation of vapors released during the decomposition of organic substances can lead to chronic lung diseases. In particular, this applies to employees who are directly involved in the collection and processing of waste. They are in the zone of increased risk, because constant contact with such waste can lead to serious health problems.
In addition, toxic substances that may be contained in cemetery waste, such as formaldehyde and other embalming chemicals, can enter the air, water and soil. This can cause intoxication of the body and lead to chronic diseases, and in some cases even to cancer.
Ways to reduce harm
Transportation of garden and park waste (including cemetery waste) and their further processing require the introduction of modern methods of environmental management. First of all, it is necessary to improve waste collection and sorting systems. Organic and inorganic waste should be collected separately, which will allow them to be processed more efficiently (R5) or use as compost or energy (R1).
No less important is the implementation of environmental management methods, such as composting and biogasification, which allow to reduce the volume of waste and minimize greenhouse gas emissions. This is especially important for organic waste that can be used to produce biogas or fertilizers, which helps preserve natural resources.
Regarding cemetery waste, it is important to implement systems for the collection and recycling of hazardous materials such as plastic flowers and wreaths. Replacing them with natural, biodegradable materials will help reduce the negative impact on the environment. It is also worth paying attention to the use of environmentally friendly chemicals for the care of cemeteries that do not pollute the environment.
