Abstract
A kitchen disposer includes a basket with a stirring member received within, and a shredding device, and a funnel are installed in a frame. The shredding device and the stirring member are driven by a driving device so as to grind bones and shells of the kitchen wastes into small pieces which are collected in the basket via the funnel. The collected kitchen wastes are mixed with micro-organisms and stirred. By control of the humidity and temperature, the mixture is fermented and becomes fertilizers.
