Abstract
Composting of MSW is of great importance for both developed and developing countries. It can be applied with the aim of reducing the total volume of MSW, thus lowering landfilling costs, and if properly treated after careful source separation it can be a source material for substrate used in greenhouses or to amend soils with OM.
