Urban domestic solid waste in India is mostly organic and poses health risks when dumped. Scientists used a mix of bacteria to turn this waste into compost. They tested different bacterial mixes and found one that worked best. This mix broke down 2 kg of waste into compost with high levels of carbon, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and sulfur. The compost was dark, grainy, and didn't smell bad. It had a good balance of nutrients for soil. This bacterial mix can help clean up organic waste and improve soil quality.
