Making compost with household waste using maggot (black soldier fly larvae) in Jambangan Surabaya.

The existence of an increasing accumulation of household waste, one of which is in the Jambangan area can cause environmental pollution. Efforts made in dealing with the generation of household waste are by making a product. These products can be used for the needs of the community around Jambangan, and can also help the economy of an organization in the Jambangan area. The product that can be produced is in the form of compost which is processed by utilizing household waste around the Jambangan area. With the help of another species, namely maggot, it is an effort to reduce household waste that has accumulated. Maggot can be used as an insect-based household waste recycling technology. Maggot has various benefits, one of which can reduce household waste and can also produce products in the form of compost. Maggot in reducing waste is very fast and has the highest value. This study used an experimental method using 8 reactors which contained about 10,000 maggot eggs in each reactor. By using variations in initial weight of 3 kg and 4 kg with one treatment. The average percentage of household waste reduction is around 53.65% and 60.25%. The results of laboratory tests of products in the form of compost will be compared with the quality standard of SNI 10-7030-2004 with parameters of water content, pH, C/N ratio.
