Abstract

Background and Purpose: The amount of waste generated by residents of the city of Banda Aceh is 0.58 kg/person/day for a population of 242,943 people in Banda Aceh. The percentage of organic, paper and plastic waste produced by the city of Banda Aceh is 89.1%; 2.5%; 0.74%. The fruit juice business is growing because with a little capital it can generate a profit of 15% -30%. People are also increasingly liking juice, especially when it is sold at low prices. The negative consequence that arises is the amount of waste that is produced. While the final waste storage capacity in the city of Banda Aceh is increasingly limited, for this reason, innovative works are needed that can help in waste management. The aim of this study was to determine the use of MOL from fruit waste in household waste processing with a modified composter to produce liquid compost, with variations in MOL doses (60 ml, 70 ml, 80 ml) and time (7, 10, 14, 18, 22 days). Materials and Methods: The type of research conducted was a quasi- experimental research with a
