Garden waste and domestic horticulture waste processing at Kanchi Nagar Park

Budget : 1.8 Lakhs

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

The corporation has constructed one compost pit in Kanchi Nagar Park, in ward no. 60, to process the garden waste. One battery operated vehicle with two workers are appointed to collect the garden waste from nearly 100 households surrounding the park. Cow dung is added and mixed properly with the garden waste once every two days to ensure better aeration and even decomposition. Holes have been provided in the pit to facilitate aeration. After 15-20 days, a single batch of compost gets ready. Most of this compost is distributed free of cost to the farmers in the nearby areas and some amount is utilized for horticultural purposes within the park itself.
