Abstract
Waste pollution and contamination from municipal waste disposal in traditional ways is a great danger to human health and the environment. The average waste production in the Sirjan city is over 150 tons per year, which to date has used the traditional methods of dumping and burying waste in the desert for disposal. Thus, in this study, according to the results obtained from waste separation and high volume of organic waste, waste management was evaluated by aerobic compost method. Five treatments with different compositions were considered for compost production and the physical and chemical properties of the produced composts were tested and evaluated according to different standards. According to the results of research on waste composting, municipal solid waste management using the compost method significantly reduces the need for landfilling and also leads to economic savings and financial profitability. Therefore, in order to increase economic efficiency, reduce landfill volume and proper waste management, and compost method is recommended as the leading methods in urban waste management of Sirjan city.
