The regulations and requirements for disposal of cannabis waste can vary widely from state to state. One thing for sure - if you choose to ignore the requirements it can result in significant fines and even loss of your license. At JWC Environmental, weâve worked with numerous cultivators, growers and even testing labs all over the world to help them customize waste disposal strategies to fit their exact needs.
The team at JWC Environmental has seen the challenges cultivators face as they try to solve waste disposal problem. We have supported many growers after failed attempts to deploy noisy, gas powered wood chippers that spew exhaust fumes onto the grow floor. We have bailed out cultivators who have built up huge stockpiles of waste root balls, stocks and rock wool with no idea how to get rid of them.
Our experience also goes beyond just grow waste disposal. We are also helping CDB extraction operations pre-condition hemp and cannabis for extraction. We are providing shredders designed to meet the size requirements of their extraction operations.

100% agree with @Growernick. How many chippers will you have to buy this year? Sure, they are relatively cheap - if you donât count the fact that you have to buy more than one every year to shred your waste.
Does your operation âgrindâ to a halt (pun intended) when your chipper getâs jammed up? How are you supposed to scale an operation with unreliable equipment?
Oh Dayum⌠you might need a better solution⌠Just sayinâ

Great question. We make shredders for all sorts of applications, we have found that cannabis is not too difficult to shred. Our first cannabis customer bought a unit about four years ago and has not needed any after market support.
Our 1-SHRED, 3-SHRED, 4-SHRED and 7-SHRED have all been successful with cannabis destruction. Some factors when selecting a unit are desired through put and what parts of the plant you want to destroy
