Japanese knotweed

I removed the link Japanese knotweed. Correct me if I've missed something, but it seems to me that any plant can be treated as green waste. We don't want to list them all, do we? Spiel496 (talk) 03:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article Evaluation

Instead of giving more specifics about what plants can be treated as green waste, more information could be added concerning the collection of green waste, green waste's role in production of biofuel, and its impact on the environment. It might also be helpful to include more information about how "green waste" differs from traditional trash and wastes. The article could also be improved by supplementing it with information about how science is improving or affecting green waste. Overall, the article needs more information about green waste as a topic and its implications for the environment.Ahandley (talk) 20:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
