- Assam is actively promoting pipe composting among its rural communities during the ongoing Swachhata Hi Seva campaign.
- Pipe composting technology is a method of converting organic waste into compost using PVC pipes 8 - 10 inches in diameter and 1.25 metres in length.
- The pipes are placed vertically keeping them 25-30 cm inside the ground.
- Only degradable waste can be disposed of into the pipes including leftover food, fruit and vegetable peels, flowers, dung, agricultural waste, etc.
- Once in two weeks a little cow dung and dry leaves are mixed with water and poured inside to accelerate the growth of the worms.
- This should remain closed so that rainwater does not enter the pipes.
- Compost manure can be removed by lifting the pipe after 2 months.
