The article reflects the problem of using some composting methods in the organic waste management process. The results of the exposed investigations intended to show how the ecological situation can be improved by using various composting methods of biodegradable organic waste. Some methods of composting organic waste of various origins are synthesized. Composting represents the process of decomposition and transformation of solid organic substances by microorganisms (mainly bacteria and fungi) into a stable material, which can be used (depending on the characteristics) in agriculture, in as an organic fertilizer, replacing chemical fertilizers to improve of soil fertility. Only some methods of composting are characterized: the traditional method, worm cultivation and the method of effective microorganisms. All composting methods are wel-come for agriculture because they solve complicated environmental problems: complete processing of organic waste, obtaining organic fertilizers and ecological agricultural pro-duction, improving the ecological situation of the environment.
