Training on Composting at Collage AISI in Kachreti



Within the WMTR Program Framework



Aiming to assist AISI College — located in Kachreti Village of Kakheti
Region — in developing a composting and recycling system, the Waste
Management Technologies in Regions (WMTR) Program organised training on
February 25-26.



The Professional Collage, AISI covers 12 hectare of land, where students are
able to stay and learn in one place. Equipped with modern technologies, the
college offers various programs, such as in veterinary science, culinary
arts, joining, electrical engineering, tourism, plastering, and bee-keeping
to name a few. Therefore, the college has great infrastructure to start
composting and implementing a waste separation scheme.



The first day of the training covered basic information on soil, its
structure, ingredients and problems, while the second day focused on
composting and its process, which is the best organic fertilizer for soil.
The expert conducting the training emphasised that healthy soil is the key
to cultivating healthy products. He noted that it is wrong to fertilise
plants directly and do nothing with the soil. He also underlined Georgia’s
great potential in being a key exporter of organic products to the EU
market, however, it is highly recommended for farmers to have good soil.



While talking on composting, the expert explained the ingredients of
composting, the design of the bin, what should be put in, what ingredients
are harmful, and how to take care of it. Additionally, he talked with the
joiner to prepare all materials for building the bin according to the number
of waste generated at the collage. It must be noted that the second-hand
woodpiles will be used for creating the bin.  After the piles are ready, the
expert will travel to the site in order to build composting bin together
with students within the next two weeks.



Waste Management Technologies in Regions (WMTR) was launched on March 18,
2014. The initiative is funded by the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID) and implemented by the International City/County
Management Association (ICMA), together with CENN[2] – a local partner and a
sub-recipient.

WMTR is assisting the Government of Georgia in designing an adequate waste
management system in the regions of Adjara and Kakheti. The program
objective is to support a cleaner and healthier environment, minimize
adverse impacts from waste on human health and natural resources, and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.
