Abstract
In the modern age of development, the increasing quantity of solid waste is one of the growing problems in both developed and developing countries. India produces 1,20,000 tonnes of solid wastes everyday. The rapid increase in the volume of waste is one aspect of the environmental crisis, accompanying global development. Wastages such as grated coconut meat, spent tea and used sugarcane had contributed negative impacts to the environment. Vermicomposting is a very effective, eco-friendly, cheap and easy method of recycling biodegradable waste using selected species of earthworms. Vermicompost have higher content of macro and micro nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium and micronutrients namely iron, copper, zinc and manganese which play a major role in solid waste management.
