About the Project:

This society has 352 flats spread over an area of 3.5 hectares. In this society, segregated waste is collected by 8 workers from all occupied flats. The wet waste is processed in OWC and dry waste is collected by NMC from the common area within the society. The total capacity of the OWC machine is 200kg but at present the operational capacity is 50% because around 150 flats are vacant. The waste from garden and 100-110 kg wet waste is subjected to shredding and then loaded in the OWC. After processing the waste, it is kept in the baskets for curing for around 28 days. During the curing process, moisture content is maintained to optimum level through sprinklers. A deodorizer with the microbial culture (Sani treat and Bioculum respectively) is added and the carbon balance is maintained by adding saw dust and dry leaves from garden.
