Abstract

Temple waste normally contains floral offering, leaves and milk product i.e. “Abishek waste water”, and this solid waste management is one of the important issues in the world, because of shortage ofdumping sites and strict environmental legislation. Now days ‘Nirmalyasolid waste’ is generated in large quantity due toincreased in population are commonly treated using different types of bins by the method of composting or vermicomposting. Vermicomposting of solid waste can be done by using different types of earthworms providing natural and artificial aeration along with mixture of cow dung and soil, artificial aeration is carried out by providing diffused aerators or perforated pipes. The parameters like C/N ratio, temperature, moisture contain are carried out. The main objective of this study is to minimize the problem of solid waste management by treating nirmalya solid waste by vermicomposting and suggesting that which method gives good quality of compost at short interval of time comparing artificial and natural aeration composting.

Highlights

  • Solid waste and waste water was Collected from “Ganesh Tekadi temple” Nagpur

  • Solid waste is basically unwanted or discarded material that is not a liquid or a gas; it can include organic waste, paper, metals, glass, cloth, brick and rock, yard waste etc. a daysdue to increased in population number of temples are developed and tons of temple waste in the form of flowers, leaves, fruits, sugar, milk and milk products, grains generated daily are disposed in open dumps or river generating foul odor as well as act as breeding centers for disease causingmicroorganism.Looking into the hazardous impact of the improper disposalof wastes on the environment, emphasis should be given on aerobiccomposting which converts waste into organic manure rich in plant nutrients, common treatment provided for these waste are Composting and vermicomposting

Summary

Introduction

Solid waste and waste water was Collected from “Ganesh Tekadi temple” Nagpur. Generally 500 kg of nirmalya solid waste containingfloral offering, leavesand 200 to 300 lit of “Abishek waste water” which contain milk, sugar and milk products are generate daily at ‘Ganesh Tekadi’. Solid waste is basically unwanted or discarded material that is not a liquid or a gas; it can include organic waste, paper, metals, glass, cloth, brick and rock, yard waste etc. a daysdue to increased in population number of temples are developed and tons of temple waste in the form of flowers, leaves, fruits, sugar, milk and milk products, grains generated daily are disposed in open dumps or river generating foul odor as well as act as breeding centers for disease causingmicroorganism.Looking into the hazardous impact of the improper disposalof wastes on the environment, emphasis should be given on aerobiccomposting which converts waste into organic manure rich in plant nutrients, common treatment provided for these waste are Composting and vermicomposting. Inmodern technique composting is a multistep, closely monitored process with measured inputs of water, air, and carbon and nitrogen rich materials, the decomposition process is aided by shredding the plant matter,adding water and ensuring proper aeration by regularly turning the mixture
