Abstract :This study was carried out to determine the content of the nutrient elements of the municipal waste com-post taken from Altaş Compost Production Establishment which is one of the limited establishments in our co-untry, and to compare with some organic manures used. The samples were taken from 3 different stages (raw garbage, before pressing, the produced municipal waste compost). These samples were analyzed N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, organic matter, pH and EC. The produced municipal waste compost was determined as 71.32 % for organic matter, 6.94 for pH, 2.20 dS/m for EC, 2.72 % for N, 0.56 % for P, 0.89 % for K, 0.71 % for Mg, 0.95 % for Na, 5.18 % for Ca, 7604 ppm for Fe, 69 ppm for Cu, 171 ppm for Zn and 217 ppm for Mn. When studied in terms of stages, from raw garbage stage to the produced municipal waste compost stage, orga-nic matter and EC were determined as decreasing, but pH, P, Mg, Ca, Cu, Zn and Mn as increasing, on the other hand N, K, Na and Fe didn’t show any regular increase or decrease.Keywords : Çöp Kompostu, Bitki Besin Maddesi, Kentsel Artıklar, Ahır Gübresi, Tavuk Gübresi
