Process for processing organic waste

A process for producing a biodegradable solid of organic waste comprising:

• providing a receiving module removably mounted to a processing module, with the receiving module having a perforated liner;
• collecting organic waste by placing the organic waste in the perforated liner of the receiving module when the receiving module is removed from the processing module;
• reducing the organic waste to pieces before the organic waste is dried by operating a reducing element located in the perforated liner of the receiving module while the receiving module is mounted to the processing module;
• transferring the pieces from the receiving module to the processing module while the receiving module is mounted to the processing module by passing the pieces through the perforated liner;
• mixing the pieces with a biodegradable binder to form a mixture;
• and
• forming a unitary biodegradable solid from the mixture by drying the mixture wherein the reduced organic waste pieces are converted to a unitary biodegradable solid.
