A city compost yard is a facility where organic waste materials, such as food scraps, yard waste, and other organic matter, are processed and converted into compost, a nutrient-rich soil conditioner. Composting is an eco-friendly waste management practice that reduces the amount of organic waste sent to landfills and incinerators while creating a valuable product for agriculture and landscaping.
The establishment of city compost yards in urban areas like Coimbatore can have several benefits:
Waste Reduction: Composting diverts organic waste from landfills, reducing the burden on landfill sites and extending their lifespan.
Soil Enrichment: Compost produced at these yards can be used to improve soil quality, increase water retention, and enhance plant growth in gardens and agricultural fields.
Environmental Benefits: Composting reduces methane emissions from organic waste decomposition in landfills, which is a potent greenhouse gas.
Sustainable Practices: Encourages residents and businesses to participate in sustainable waste management practices by separating organic waste from other types of waste.
Local Agriculture Support: The compost produced can be distributed to local farmers, supporting sustainable agriculture practices.
Dump yard visits motivated the students to take action and advocate for sustainable practices in their communities.
