5 START-UP ROUTINES AND FOLLOW-UP
ROUTINES FOR START-UP – HOUSEHOLD WASTE
The key-point in a start-up phase is to facilitate in every way a rich bacterial activity. Normally food
from households has, in practice, already started the decomposing process when loaded into the
composter. In general therefore this situation is not a problem - within a few days the temperature is
rising and the biological process has commenced.

THE FIRST TWO BAGS OF COMPOST MATERIAL THAT THE COMPOSTER PRODUCES SHOULD BE
PUT INTO THE COMPOSTER AGAIN.

DURING THE START-UP PERIOD THE BIOLOGICAL PROCESS REQUIRES MORE ABSORBENT
MATERIAL AND THE FINISHED COMPOST MATERIAL IS PREFERABLY RECYCLED ONCE IN A
WHILE.
5.1.1 INITIAL STARTING BATCH
When installation is made an initial starting batch of absorbent material is put into the composter plus
if available one batch of horse manure and/or a batch of composted material to get a really quick
start-up.

5.1.2 ABSORBENT MATERIAL DURING START-UP
The required amount of absorbent material during start-up will vary until the biological process has
started. Within the community where the composter is installed new routines in the handling of the
household waste must be carried out. In housing areas the recommendation is to appoint one person
to be in charge of both the composter and adding sawdust or pellets. Every composter has its own
unique biological process and therefore it is difficult to recommend how much sawdust that should
be put into the composter.
If the residents put their food waste into the machine themselves they may also add a proportion of
sawdust / pelletised sawdust with their food waste. In some circumstances a caretaker is instructed to
add sawdust / pelletised sawdust 3 times a week. If this is the case – during start-up, this schedule
should be followed.
