Abstract

Introduction: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is an emerging global issue which is mainly affecting municipalities in many countries. According to the Word Bank, an estimated 2.24 billion tonnes of solid waste was generated in 2020, it is expected that by 2050, 3.88 billion tonnes of waste will be generated annually, which is 73% increase from the 2020 level of waste generation. Indiscriminate dumping of refuse creates serious environmental problems to humans and the ecosystem. Composting is one of low cost biological which is catalysed by microbial activities. The physical-chemical parameter affected by this process include temperature, aeration, moisture content, Carbon:Nitrogen ratio and pH. Materials and Methods: It was an applied study. Mixed market waste was collected from the traders in the market and taken straight to the receiving bay (shed). The biodegradable organic materials were sorted from the non-biodegradable materials for the compost. The organic solid wastes used for compositing were divided into 4 treatment groups of Cow Manure with organic waste (CM), Goat Manure with organic waste (GM), Cow and Goat Manure with organic waste (CGM) and Organic Waste alone (OW). Results: The treatment group of organic wastes alone (OW) had the highest mean weight of 224±2.00 at baseline and 61.50±1.50 post treatment. GM had a mean of 201.0±1.00 at baseline and 67.00±3.00 post treatment. Chemical analysis showed that the matured compost consisted of the following: Carbon, Nitrogen, phosphorus, and Potassium. CM and GM gave a C:N ratio was 15:1 each, an indication of high nitrogen, resulting to fast decomposition of the biomass. Chemical analysis of CGM showed a C:N ratio of 16:1 while compost made without the addition of the ruminant wastes OW gave a C:N ratio of 18:1 which is an indication of low nitrogen resulting to the slow decomposition of the biomass. During the composting process, pH, temperature and moisture content of the composts ranged between 6.5-8.3, 30°C-61°C, and 30-63% respectively. Conclusion: Conversion of solid organic waste into manure helps to minimize environmental pollution. Basic essential nutrients in chemical fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and Potassium present in compost will however reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.
