| dc.description.abstract | While total solid waste amount generated in Turkey was 3-4 million tons per year in 1960s, total solid waste amount collected by municipalities increased to 24.36 million tons according to data in the year 2008. Only 1.1% of these wastes (267.960 tons) can be recycled to produce compost. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the recyclable household vegetative wastes and determine their total volume and market price. For this purpose, out of vegetative solid wastes that are generated at homes or workplaces and have market value, cherry stalk, corn silk, walnut shell, orange, lemon and sour orange peels, onion skin, melon-watermelon rind, apricot-wild apricot seed kernel were investigated. According to the results of the research, dried organic cherry stalks are sold in packages of 25-30 grams between 3.5-4.9 TL and the price of one kg cherry stalk is average 145 TL. It was found that prices of 1 kg corn silk, hard walnut shells and finely cut sour orange peel are 20 TL, 53.33 TL and 10 TL respectively. Extracted hawthorn, horse chestnut and grape seed are sold for 45.00 TL kg(-1), 33.00 TL kg(-1) and 59.00 TL kg(-1) respectively in domestic markets. | en_US |
