Landscape Waste Composting with the Aid of Effective Microorganisms using Mechanical Crusher Machine

Abstract

Malaysia is facing an uncontrolled increase in municipal solid waste generation due to population growth and nation development. Part of the waste that is disposed to landfill is landscape waste. The disposal of these waste can be reduced by composting method. In this study, the compost is produced by using a mechanical crusher machine for 1 hour and stored in a bin for weeks. The form compost had temperature and pH in the acceptable range for fertilizer but low moisture content.
