Starting in September, Nanjing has begun to pilot the operation of turning kitchen waste into fertilizer at some urban communities. Let’s take a close look.
In a residential area in Jiangxinzhou, the kitchen waste was collected and transported to the incineration plant for disposal in the past.
Recently, a set of garbage disposal equipment has turned kitchen waste into fertilizer for residents to grow flowers and grass.

The residue produced by the kitchen waste
disposer is in dry powder form
When residents use it as fertilizer
to grow flowers and grass
they must mix the residue into the soil
Only about 150 grams of fertilizer
can be added to 5 kilograms of soil
Such a set of processing equipment can convert about two tons of kitchen waste every day, eliminate the trash can, save property management expenses, and generate value-added subsidies for property management expenses.

The garbage sorting kiosk always
presents a very tidy environment
so that the owners are
very supportive of garbage sorting
According to statistics, about 95% of residents can consciously participate in garbage classification. In the next step, the urban management department plans to impose penalties on residents who refuse to cooperate with garbage sorting.
