Abstract

The huge cost incurred in the packing and transportation of domestic waste in Nigeria accounts for not less than 60% of the total budget for waste management. The design of a cost effective composting machine for small-scale production of manure (compost) from kitchen wastes is achieved. Actual efficiency of 64.09% was recorded as compared to the theoretical efficiency of 80%.
