Household waste management and recovery in the City of Ikela

More about the book

Household waste management plays a crucial role in socio-economic sustainability through effective recycling into composts. These composts serve as low-cost organic fertilizers, enhancing soil structure and promoting better water infiltration. They gradually release essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, improving soil health and supporting beneficial microorganisms. This approach offers a therapeutic alternative to chemical fertilizers, which can deplete soil quality. Additionally, market gardening utilizing recycled waste can provide economic benefits, highlighting the importance of responsible waste management.
