Abstract

Home composting of kitchen refuse at each household has been gathering attention in recent years. A large number of municipalities, which suffer from waste problems, have been practicing a home composting subsidizing program.<BR>The situation of this program was investigated by a questionnaire survey. The results showed that approximately 80% of municipalities have adopted it. Although this program would be effective to waste reduction, it was estimated its duration period has been too short to achieve effective waste reduction so far. A back-up service for home composting device users would be necessary to keep the device being used for a long time and to get effective waste reduction.
