Preferred Term:

compostaje doméstico

Definition:
Desvío de restos de alimentos y desechos de jardín procedentes del flujo municipal de residuos, a través de la descomposición controlada in situ de materia orgánica mediante microorganismos (principalmente bacterias y hongos), dirigida a obtener un producto similar al humus. El compostaje en el jardín se excluye de las actividades de reciclaje. Se considera una reducción de desechos en la fuente, ya que los materiales compostados nunca ingresan en el flujo municipal de residuos sólidos.
