Garden Hoe

Material A
Wood. Usually used for the handle, they occasionally come with a plastic grip.

Disposal: If not in full form, the handle of a garden hoe can be broken down and placed in your garbage bin.

Material B
Steel. It is often used for the head of the hoe, as it provides the best strength.

Disposal: Although steel can be recycled, garden hoes should be taken to a drop-of depot to be disposed of properly.

Best Alternative
Garden hoes are generally safe for the environment. As most are durable and rarely need to be replaced, at best it is recommended to buy a steel head garden hoe over a plastic one.
