In this work, oil-mill wastewater sludge composting has been carried out.Different lignocellulosic residues (straw, wine shoots, olive branches and olive husks) have been mixed with the sludge in order to obtain a suitable moisture and C/N ratio.In all cases, during composting an important organic matter degradation was observed. Results obtained showed a high extent of cellulose degradation indicating a very important microbial activity on the substrate, while the lignin attack was very light.
