The volume of leaves, flowers and bouquets of the temple waste are collected into a trash can.
Waste runs well to a large dump or a large drum that has a soaking water system and adds natural substances, changing waste to organic after a certain period and produces clean fertilizer, “tells the priest of the Mankameshwar Temple Chief.” Many people arrived at the temple places to looking for natural compost to grow plants, “he added.

Experts claim that flower waste, leaves and bouquets are placed in the trash in the fields and gaushalas.
After a few months, the lowest layer decomposes and turns into a black powder.
This compost and can be used as a manure, which They explained.

The fact is, most of the city’s leading temples, to overcome the problem of flower waste, has now begun to change the waste of flowers and kitchens produced in their place to be compost.
The temple’s authority also claimed that they had ideas about composers, which were installed in many temples in the southern state but we have chosen the natural process to decompose flower waste.
