We have been reading about several facets of keeping our city clean and green in this paper. Here I would like to talk about the vitally important facet of citizen participation in solid waste management.
The urban Indian citizen generates nearly 700 grams of solid waste per person per day which is nearly 250 kg in a year.
More than half of what we carelessly throw into the trash is organic matter, which if composted, can produce rich top soil for our plants. Unfortunately most of us do not segregate our dry waste from wet waste, which makes composting impossible. The precious wet waste — what can potentially become black gold — remains unusable junk inside our landfillsAlso, by mixing our food waste with our recyclable waste (paper, plastic, metal), we make even our recyclable waste less recoverable.

How to prepare Organic Manure at Home
Organic manures are natural products used by farmers to provide food for the crop plants. Organic manures are beneficial in the cultivation of crops. They increase the organic matter in the soil which in turn releases the plant food in available from the use of crops. Organic manures enable a soil to hold more water and also help to improve the drainage in clay soils. They even provide organic acids that help to dissolve soil nutrients and make them available for plants. Organic manure is being increasingly popular for organic farming.
Method to prepare organic manure
It is very simple to prepare organic manure at home. You can convert your daily dustbins into rich, organic manure and grow flowers, vegetables or plant with it.
So let us start with the most popular method of preparing organic manure at home-
1. Pot Composting
In this process, three pots are used.
1. First, segregate your household waste into dry and wet in your kitchen. Leftovers of food, fruit peels, and tea bags are wet waste whereas paper, plastic and packaging area dry waste.
2. Secondly, put both these wastes in two different containers in the kitchen. When the wet waste container is full, put its contents into the first compost pot.
3. Then add dry leaves of the same quantity as the waste and semi-composted material, buttermilk or cow dung to start with the decomposition process.
4. Turn the pile around every other day. Keep the pile at the right level of dampness. If it is too wet, add dry leaves and stir and if it is too dry add water and stir.
5. Once it is full, leave the pot open for 30-45 days for the composition to happen. Then move the semi-composted matter into a larger container or bin.
6. After two months the waste will convert into rich compost that can be used or sold as manure.
