Population growth is directly proportional to the amount of waste produced. Facts on the ground show that almost 70% of the waste generated by households is organic waste. Organic waste is waste that comes from the remains of living things that easily decomposes naturally without human intervention to decompose and be processed again into compost. Utilization of biopore infiltration holes is used as a medium for composting organic waste. Compost sample testing methods to determine compost specifications include C-Organic testing using the Walkley & Black method; The N-Total test used the Wet Destruction + Indophenol method; Phosphate test using the wet destruction method + Ascorbic Acid; Testing for Potassium with the Wet Destruction+AAS method; pH measurement with a pH meter; testing the water content through a Moisture Analyzer and measuring the C/N ratio with a Gravimetric tool. The results obtained showed that only the water content and pH met the compost specifications based on SNI19-7030-2004. Other parameters indicate that the value of C-Organic, low Phosphate and C/N ratio that is too high indicates the composting process is too fast. So that potassium is of low value.
