The stirring means 23 includes a rotary stirring bar 24 and a drive device 25. Reference numeral 26 denotes a microbial carrier such as sawdust or undecomposed processed material that becomes a habitat of microorganisms. The rotating stirring rod 24 mixes and stirs the garbage 27 and the microbial carrier 26, and supplies oxygen (air) to the microbial carrier 26. Reference numeral 28 denotes a heating means including an electric heater for keeping the temperature in the processing tank 22 properly. A cover 29 covers the upper opening of the treatment tank 22 and is opened and closed when the waste is thrown in, and is rotatable around a fulcrum 29a. Reference numeral 30 denotes an exhaust means provided on the upper rear surface of the treatment tank 22, and is composed of a ventilation fan 31 and an exhaust port 32. Reference numeral 33 denotes a discharge port through which the residue after the decomposition treatment overflows, and is provided at two places on the left and right sides of the treatment tank 22. The overflowed residue is accumulated in the stocker 35 in which the inflow port 34 is formed.

  The stocker 35 is detachably mounted in a recess 20a provided on the front surface of the main body 20. That is, shafts 45 are formed on both sides of the lower part of the box member 37 of the stocker 35, and are in contact with the bearings 46 provided on the lower inner surface of the recess 20a of the main body 20 and are detachably locked. The shaft 45 is positioned forward of the center of gravity of the stocker 35. For this reason, the stocker 35 is subjected to a force of falling toward the main body, and can be stably attached to the main body 20 even if a large amount of residue accumulates. . Further, the main body side is only the projection of the bearing 46, and if the stocker 35 is removed, there will be no waste accumulation portion, so cleaning is easy. Further, an inclined portion 47 is formed at the bottom of the box member 37. When the lid member 36 of the stocker 35 is slid open, the internal residue can be discharged smoothly and the amount of dust remaining is reduced. Even if the inclined portion 47 is provided on the lid member side, the same effect can be expected.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the stalker 35 includes a transparent lid member 36 and an opaque box member 37.
