Abstract

This study set out to find a way to compost biodegradable trash from homes in order to recycle it. Biodegradable wastes are composed of organic material mixtures that were decomposed in a controlled setting in order to recycle them. Each component of the compost mixture had its starting moisture content determined and then sorted into dry and wet categories. Then, the average moisture content for both types of materials was calculated. With a moisture percentage of 39.2% on average and a moisture target of 50%, the gathered dry components weighed in at around 8 kg. To make rotating the compost mixture easier, we reduced the amount to half of its original volume. Microbiological decomposition began in an ideal environment with the right amount of moisture, the right mix of dry and wet materials to achieve the necessary carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, and the right amount of air in the compost pile's pore spaces.
