The process of turning wet wastes into compost will no longer be laborious and time-consuming. For, the city corporation along with engineers has created a prototype to quicken the process of turning west wastes into compost within a day without foul odour and flies menace. The civic body has set up the equipment at Bharathi Park and is running it on a pilot basis. For over a year now, we wanted to formulate an idea to automate and simplify the compost process, a corporation source said. In order to overcome the difficulties that are being faced in the existing process, we had started designing a prototype during the lockdown period, the source said.
