Post Harvest Cannabis Plant Disposal

Post Harvest Waste
Since the goal is only to harvest the buds there is a lot of plant biomass that is not needed and becomes waste.

Growers need to keep this in-mind and also have a plan for disposing of this plant material.


More Than Plants
Yes, the plants are a source of waste but you also need to consider the other plant supporting materials.
This may depend on your growing situation (indoor vs outdoor) but regardless growers need to take all plant material and supporting plant material into consideration when it comes to waste disposal.
