"Every week we are capable of producing around one cubic meter of organic waste into compost," he expressed, Tuesday (12/10).

Its production uses organic waste as the basis for dry compost. After that the compost results will be packaged in a plastic bag and then used as a planting medium for fertilizing plants in the urban village office and RPTRA.

"Compost fertilizer is also distributed to the public for free thus they want to grow crops and create a green environment in their yard," he stated.
