Description: To prevent wet waste like kitchen waste and leftover food from being dumped into landfills where it releases harmful greenhouse gases, the Indian government in 2016 mandated segregation of waste. Under the Solid Waste Management Rules the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change also stressed the importance of composting of wet waste by residential colonies and businesses.
Many residential colonies in cities of India have since then started colony-wide composting of wet waste, creating compost for their gardens. This move not only prevents wet waste from entering landfills but also leads to creation of compost — full of healthy nutrients for plants.
In the video, a member of SWaCH — a cooperative of self-employed waste collectors in Pune can be seen mixing wet waste of an RWA with soil to create compost in the composting unit within the residential colony.
Another view of the worm bin. Notice the drainage on the bottom, used to collect the worm compost tea that will fall through the system, and collect in a bucket for us to use as fertilizer.
Small compost bin moved to another location and large paving slabs put in place (the path will separate the two new two meter square sections).

You need 5 pallets of the same size, an open box (flat chisel), a mass and that's it! On the front, this is a board that can be found in supermarkets. I reused the nails from pallets to assemble the all.

The Quayle and Epworth Jets Kids Cafe students are learning to compost this semester. They've been working hard each week and have already filled one of their bins with 800 pounds of food waste.
