First step to our waste management and recycling project seems very simple and easy, but can all of us really do it? It’s hard to imagine. For example, after separating organic waste, we should then process it to become compost materials. How many of us know anything about composting organic waste? Furthermore, how many of us have our own backyards? Hmm..Let’s not let these problems stop us from learning, OK? Actually, learning about composting process is not very hard, but we’ll try to post it later.
As a preview, let’s take a look at some of the tools we need:
- Composters
People in developing countries may use more simple tools, like modified oil drums, wire mesh, etc. Simple tools are used because most of them are less expensive, only need a bit more extra work. In developed countries we can find more advanced (and more expensive) tools, such as urban compost tumbler. It still uses simple technology, but it may be able to make our work easier. Anyway, you can decide which tools you want to use. If you have extra space in your backyard, and have no problem with compost piles in it for some time, then you can try to use the less expensive approach. If you want something more practical and have some extra money to buy it, then you can try looking for your own urban compost tumbler. It probably even comes with a manual!
