What to do with your plant waste in winter? Many of us are asking ourselves this question while door-to-door collections are for the most part suspended until March. In addition, more and more recycling centers are refusing grass clippings, arguing that they are reusable. Among the interesting solutions, the vegetable shredder is essential and this is now how I proceed. In certain regions, and this is not the case in my sector, the purchase of a plant shredder benefits from municipal or urban aid. Help that can be interesting and allow you to reuse your plant wasteor at least, to reduce its volume. I suggest you discover some of the help available, but the list is obviously not exhaustive. Here we go.
