"green waste" is a button on a touch screen and needs to be translated to Spanish. this refers to a material selection to be recycled which consists of grass, trees, plants, etc., hence waste.

Thank you.

I edited your post to make it a little more friendly, Eehusky. A "Thank you" and a "please", and proper capitalization go a long way in this Forum. Thanks. - Gekkosan, Apr 30, 2010

The literal translation is " Desechos verdes"; which may or may not work depending on the requirements for that labelling. It is not a "standard term" of any sort.

Other options are "Deshechos orgánicos"; or "Deshechos vegetales"; for example.

reciclaje? "green waste" isn't a term I'm familiar with, but "reciclaje" means recycling...
