This book investigates the potential for composting in rural areas, using the community of Christianburg as a case study, located in Linden Guyana; to determine the major factors that influence the amount and type of waste generated in the community. The results revealed that the size of the household is the most dominant factor that influences the amount of waste within the community of Section "C" Christianburg and the level of income follows. Majority of the persons had poor knowledge of the practice of composting and a number of methods were recommended to increase awareness.
