FEASIBILITY OF ONSITE COMPOSTING FOR INSTITUTIONAL WASTE

Abstract

The present study describes the generation and handling of waste and the feasibility of onsite composting as a waste management practice. The heaps of non-segregated waste in tones along with foul smelling organic materials make even the paper and plastic a fetid. The waste generated are usually heaped in a place or dumped in the landfill thus causing unhygienic environmental conditioning and improper usage of land. Hence waste management is practiced effectively to manage the waste. Waste management is the collection, transport, recycling, monitoring and disposal of waste. In this paper we discussed about the amount of waste generated in our institution, method and process of managing the organic waste, various sensors used for the process and the process for efficiently managing the organic waste generated from institution.
