2:55Now PlayingOrganic waste from fields and parks in South Africa's metropolis have been rotting away in landfills. But now a local company has turned the smelly business into big business by using the waste to produce high quality compost. The farmers are happy - the compost helps them improve soil quality without the aid of expensive fertilisers and chemical pesticides. The climate also benefits - composting the waste reduces the emission of large quantities of methane, a climate killer and by-product of rotting waste.
