Average daily per capita generation comes to 0.178 kg 0.034 kg for Koothuparamba to 0.707 kg for Thalassery
(CESS, 2001; Padmalal & Maya, 2002; Varma &Dileepkumar, 2004).
MSW generation varies between 0.21-0.35 kg/capita/day in the urban centres MSW of 0.5 kg/capita/day in large cities (NEERI, 1996).
Climate change, from anthropogenic emissions and wastes Fossil fuel use Agricultural and industrial activities, Deforestation
(labour intensive, carelessness attract carnivores) (need an incinerator ,costly, labour intensive) (carnivores dig it out, pollute water bodies ) (seepage, attract public protest ,carnivores) (Existing methods not user friendly)

COMPOSTING
Composting is the natural process of 'rotting' or decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms under controlled conditions. M e s o p se: U h 3 TYPES gen y x i on O l ed Bas re: c tu robi era e p 1. A em obic T er on Ana 2. d ase B :

Anaerobic Composting
Oxygen absent High methane emission Disagreeable odour Less heat generated Slow decomposition Higher salinity.
Labour intensive No temperature rise More time for composting Worms care and sustainability a must
Aerobic composting takes place in the presence of ample oxygen. Temperature rises rapidly in the waste. In this process the temperature rises to 70 to 80 C. pathogens and weed seeds. Every waste in the farm can be utilized as a raw material for the compost making and every material are put in the compost with the layers of dung. By the time the composting is completed the material become dark brown in color. This peak temperature kills the
