Composting is one of the feasible waste disposal methods used by municipal    corporations. This study was aimed to assess the use of kitchen waste in home composting,  which can be used in home gardens as plant fertilizer, which is more economical and
non-hazardous than commercial chemical fertilizers. Solid waste like vegetable scraps,  fruit peels, tissues, newspapers, dry leaves and twigs were used as raw materials for  composting in a plastic bag and bucket. A plant growth study was carried out to check
the efficiency of compost in plants. Plant with compost from plastic bucket shows the  highest efficiency compared to other. We performed different tests to estimate the  physio-chemical properties of compost and showed that the prepared compost was a
dark brown color. Total C: N ratio was 10.1,13.2 and 3.1 in sample 1, sample 2 and control,  respectively. The pH of the compost was alkaline after two months of composting. The  results revealed that compost in plastic bag has less nutrient content. Nutrient loss can be  a significant drawback of home composting.
