Abstract: Carbon and nitrogen are crucial for plants to perform the routine and fundamental cellular activity. Compost is an excellent source to enhance nutritional value of soil. Although vermicomposting is generally seen as more efficient method. But this method is not suitable for indoor apartments due to various constrains. So, we prefer another composting method, aerobic composting. For this experiment green waste like flower waste, vegetable waste was collected from household. Brown matter like dried leaves, cardboard collected from college campus. Experiment was set up for 90 days. Analysis of different samples were done for concentration of organic carbon and available nitrogen. Results showed that mg/L concentration of organic carbon is more in vegetable waste (1.097) than fruit waste (0.672), flower waste (0.601) and combining all (vegetable waste, fruit waste, flower waste) (0.194). Available nitrogen percentage in mg/L is more in vegetable waste (175.61) than flower waste (163.07), fruit waste (125.44), and combining all (vegetable waste, fruit waste, flower waste) (100.35). It is found that it is absolutely possible and easily achievable to manage nutritional waste by aerobic composting.
