Abstract

India is the second largest product of fruits and vegetables in the world with 221.431 million metric tonnes. Rapid industrialization and population growth in India has led to the migration of people from villages to cities thereby generating thousands of tons of municipal solid waste everyday throughout the country. Urban India is reported to generate 68.8 million tones of MSW per year with a per capita waste generation rate of 500 g/person/day (Annepu, 2012).The disposal of food waste in landfills has severe environmental consequences that range from water pollution to the emission of greenhouse gases. Composting food waste and other organic waste produces an effective soil amendment that improves soil quality and is environmentally sustainable. Composting food waste allows communities to craft a marketable product that generates income from organic wastes that, if disposed in landfills, will merely decompose and pollute the environment. In this thesis we are decomposing the vegetables for further use of fertilizer for soil. As India is agricultural country, therefore it will improve the agricultural product. Installation of small green dustbin will help in unnecessary transportation, pollution and also dumping problem etc.
