OLYMPIA - The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) has revised rules for managing organic wastes - also known as "green waste."
Changes to the rules affect methods for transforming organic material into useable or marketable materials.
Green waste makes up 27 percent of the solid waste put into landfills, according to Ecology officials. Disposal of green waste causes more methane and liquid waste at the landfills. Methane is a greenhouse gas emission and is considered a hazardous substance.
