	Conversion of Solid City Wastes The solid waste management involves the conversion of a variety of solid wastes (including urban, rural and agro-wastes) into fertilizers for improvement of soil fertility. This is achieved by using a consortium of selected microorganisms, which efficiently transform these solid wastes into composting materials that can be used for improvement of soil fertility. The garbage is stacked in huge heaps that may be upto 2.5m in height.
Microbial slurry is sprayed on it. The fermentation cycle starts with activation of mesophilic organisms. As a result the thermo-tolerant and thermophilic organisms take over. Frequent aeration is needed to ensure aerobic conditions. After treatments, the material is sieved. The final product is humus rich, blackish-brown with an earthly odour and a moisture content of 20-25%
