ABSTRACT
Garden waste produced at households can be treated by home composting, but very little information can be found about this subject. On this study conducted by Lipor a model of a house garden was used to assess the amount of garden waste produced while also measuring a compost bins capacity to treat it. The results can then be used to assess the impact of home composting on the deviation of organic waste from municipal collection systems. The study concluded that a garden can produce from 0.95 kg/m2 to 3.24 kg/m2, while a compost bin can admit an input of 204.68 kg of garden waste per year.
