Method for disposing of organic waste of high water content and disposal apparatus therefor

A method for disposing of an organic waste of high water content, which uses a cement burning facility to convert the organic waste of high water content into fuel and to subject the resultant to a combustion treatment, the method comprising:

• a drying step in which the organic waste of high water content is dried to produce a dried organic waste through the use of a heating medium that was subjected to a heat exchange with a high temperature gas extracted from the cement burning facility, and in which the heating medium used for the drying is subjected to another heat exchange with the high temperature gas, thereby recycling the heating medium for drying the organic waste of high water content;
• and
• a combustion step in which the dried organic waste is supplied to the cement burning facility or a combustion apparatus and combusted.
