Composting Organic and Food Waste

At Waste2Table organic and food waste recycling facility in Ikorodu, Lagos State, we accept a wide range of organic and food waste materials, from green landscape waste, market perishable waste, household food waste, expired food products, restaurant food waste, organic waste from companies, animal manure, abattoir waste, wood shavings, industrial green waste, etc, and using our composting processes to recycle them into a very rich W2T Compost and organic fertilizer for soil amendment.

 

We are dedicated to sorting through and recycling as many of these materials as possible, diverting them from the landfill and reducing greenhouse gas emission.

What is Composting?

Composting is a natural process that turns organic materials into a nutrient-rich soil conditioner. It involves the decomposition of organic waste by microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and other organisms under controlled conditions. The end product of composting, called compost, is a dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling material that is rich in nutrients and can be used to improve soil fertility.

Key Components of Composting:

  1. Organic Waste: Composting relies on the decomposition of organic materials. This can include kitchen scraps (fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, eggshells), yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, twigs), and other organic materials.
  2. Microorganisms: Bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms play a crucial role in breaking down the organic matter into compost. They require the right balance of carbon and nitrogen, often referred to as the carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio, to effectively decompose the materials.
  3. Aeration: Turning or mixing the compost regularly helps aerate the pile, providing oxygen to the microorganisms and accelerating the decomposition process. Proper aeration prevents the compost from becoming compacted and smelly.
  4. Moisture: Maintaining the right level of moisture is important for composting. The compost pile should be damp, like a wrung-out sponge, but not waterlogged. Adequate moisture ensures the microorganisms can function optimally.

Benefits of Composting:

  • Waste Reduction: Composting diverts organic waste from landfills, reducing the production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
  • Soil Enrichment: Compost enhances soil structure, improves water retention, and provides essential nutrients for plant growth.
  • Sustainability: Composting is a sustainable practice that supports a closed-loop system by recycling organic waste into a valuable resource for gardening and agriculture.
