Abstract:
.e domestic solid waste stream composition of urban settings in many developing countries including Uganda is largely biodegradable in nature, and thus, composting provides the most suitable solid waste management option for these wastes. However,
there is limited information about waste composting at the household level and associated determinants in Uganda. A cross-sectional
study was employed to collect quantitative data from 368 residents of Masaka municipality, Central Uganda. A semistructured
interviewer administered questionnaire was used which assessed knowledge, perceptions, and practices of composting. Data were
analysed using STATA 13.0, and binary logistic regression was used to determine the factors that influence composting at the
household level. Of the 368 participants, 11.4% were engaged in composting
