COMPOST MAKING OF HOUSEHOLD
WASTE
Household garbage consists of organic and inorganic waste.
Organic waste is divided into two namely:
1. Green Organic Waste (waste vegetables from the kitchen)
For example: stems / leaves of cassava, papaya, kale, spinach, eggplant skins, carrots, labuh
siam, yams, cassava, fruit peel, pineapple, banana, jackfruit, banana leaves, watermelon,
coconut pulp, the remaining vegetables / side dishes, and trash from kebum (grass, leaves dry
/ wet).
2. Animals that eat organic garbage such as fish, shrimp, chicken, meat, eggs and the like.
Namely the form of inorganic waste materials such as paper, cartons, baskets, tins, various
types of plastics, styrofoam, etc..
Green organic waste is separated from the organic waste of animal so that both materials can
be processed individually for compostable. While inorganic waste in the form of reduced
plastic use, reuse items that are needed, recyclable, which is still clean collected and given to
scavengers.
Inorganic waste that can be recycled for example:
- Plastic packaging bags to be used.
- Used plastic bottles can be made into a glass lid.
- Glass can be made of old plastic plant pots
A clean garbage can be sold / given to scavengers. For example carton, cardboard,
Styrofoam, baskets, bottles, plastic-plastic food packaging, plastic bags, newspapers,
magazines, papers, and so on. The types of clean are separate in one bag, just given the
scavengers dumped into the trash without first.
Garbage is really dirty and we can not recycle, not feasible given the scavengers. This is
thrown in the trash. Thus, we can help reduce the volume of waste disposed in landfill (Final
Disposal).
Recycle Household Kitchen Waste
Alternative 1:
Prepare:
1. Cardboard
2. Bearings are made of coconut fiber wrapped with plastic mosquito netting
3. 5-6 kg of compost made from herbs
4. Waste that has been cut into pieces the size of 2 - -4 cm
5. Mixer
6. Plastic sacks porous (to wrap cardboard) or laundry basket of dirty clothes (Takakura).
How to make:
1. Place the mixture over bearing coconut coir waste compost +
2. Do it layer by layer until the box is full. Cardboard is stored in the basket (Takakura) or
wrap with a porous plastic bag. Put in place that are not exposed to rain and sun. Every 3-4
days opened and stirred, do continue until all waste into black, were destroyed.
3. Trash has turned into compost ready for use / sale. (To be sold, sifted beforehand). If the
first box is full, make two cardboard boxes, etc..
Alternative 2:
1. Drum containers, plastic buckets or barrels
2. The container was given to the exchange of air holes didasarnya
3. Waste material is cut 2? 4 cm
4. Decomposing microorganisms as an activator. For example EM-4, Starbio, Temban. These
materials can be replaced by compost from plants.
5. Water
6. Mixer.
How to make:
1. Waste material is inserted inside the container layer, then add compost or microorganism
decomposers
2. Perform continuous layer by layer until the container is full
3. Doused with water evenly
4. On day 5 -7, the media can be flip-flops. Stirring was repeated every five days and stopped
until the waste becomes black and destroyed.
5. Trash has turned into compost.
Note:
Temperature setting is an important factor in composting. One crucial factor is the high
temperature of the pile. Piles of land that is too low will result in rapid heat loss. This is due
to the absence of sufficient material to withstand the heat that is released so that the
microorganism will not develop naturally. Conversely if the pile is too high, there will be
organic material density caused by the weight of the material so that the temperature becomes
very high and there is no air in the heap. Qualified high pile is 1.2? 2.0 meters and an ideal
temperature during the composting process is 40 degrees-50 degrees C.
To speed up the composting process, the pH of the pile should be sought not too low.
However, low pH deposits can be prevented by administering lime, ash or ash wood kitchen.
Good raw material for water-yield degradation or reshuffle 50?? 70%. Material from forage
usually do not require additional water, whereas a dry branch plants or grass should be
watered when done hoarding. Humidity pile thoroughly cultivated about 40?? 60%.
At the time of composting will arise from the heat emitted smoke. This will result in a heap
becomes dry. For this to be known as early as possible, into the pile need to be plugged in
long bamboo.
