Solid Waste Composting Trends - And Research Needs

MUNICIPAL solid waste composting has taken many twists and turns in the past two decades, as early projects utilized preprocessing lines with screens, ferrous removal, pickers and shredders. Most received mixed municipal solid waste, with project proponents advocating composting as a viable
