What is the difference between cannabis-byproduct and green waste?
Green waste is defined as waste that is not hazardous and that contains cannabis that has been made “unusable and unrecognizable”. Non-rendered “waste” is still a cannabis byproduct or product. Additionally, any ancillary tools for manufacturing (i.e. wax papers, gloves, lab utensils, etc.) that have the residue of THC or Cannabinoids are considered cannabis by-product.
How often do I need to dispose of cannabis-byproduct?
It is recommended that any cannabis-byproduct set aside to be rendered into green waste be serviced when the containers are filled up. It is a best practice that filled containers should be picked up and removed from the site within seven days.
Does Green Waste need to be treated prior to disposal?
If cannabis byproduct has been properly rendered into green waste, then the green waste does not need further treatment prior to disposal.
