Outdoor Operation Post Harvest Cannabis Plant Disposal Professor DeBacco Disposal of the Plant Material Per the EPA, cannabis waste also must be made “unusable and unrecognizable” before disposal, mixed with at least 50 percent non-cannabis waste (such as non-consumable solids), and stored in a “secured” waste receptacle. Cannabis waste can be disposed of in a permitted landfill, or through composting, incineration, or by means of in-vessel digestion. Landfills: Most cannabis growers and processors are shipping cannabis waste to landfills, so it is under federal scrutiny. Composting: Goal is to provide optimal conditions for microbial metabolism. Incineration: This must occur at temperatures high enough to destroy the toxic organic constituents in the hazardous waste as well as reduce its overall volume. Note, this is not the same as burning leaves in your backyard. In-vessel digestion: This is a more efficient method of composting, wherein the waste is confined within a building, container, or vessel in order to mechanically control airflow, temperature, moisture, and odors. Disposal of Weed Control Many times plastic or some form of row cover is utilized in season, but these must be removed from the field after harvest. Plastic is the most common for many reasons, but one of the drawbacks is the end of the season disposal. Not only is the removal a challenge, but the disposal can be even more challenging. Biodegradable options do exist, but often they can leave field trash and may still need to be handled in some way. Disposal of Irrigation If utilizing drip irrigation this needs to be cleaned up at the end of the season. Many growers go with one time use material that is only 4 or 6mil that can be sufficient for a single growing season. If you want to reuse the material go with 15mil as this can be used for 7+ years if handled properly. Disposal of Plant Supports Regardless of the method used plants will often need support. Some use trellis netting, or stakes. These can be reused in some cases, but this is more common with stakes and they will go through a soak in some form of sterilization step before they are reused.
