These vegetables; Nursery Plants and flower plant will be used for captive consumption and/or also available for commercial sale.  

Maximum capacity of  waste that can be collected at the waste recycle site is: 500 KGs per week or 2 Tons per month.

Plan is to install two waste collection bins at compost treatment site to encourage voluntary deposit of waste cut vegetables and flowers at the site. Infected waste will not be dumped in the area as the composting area is very near to residential colonies.
