Worms In Waste Management
There are few left who are not yet aware of the many problems facing our ecological well-being today. One of the
 largest sources for concern is the amass of waste and debris that our ever growing population is now presenting us with. Landfill. sites all over the U.S. are filling up and shutting down. Since 1988 over 4,000 landfill sites have been shut down in the U.S. alone (Thats more than one a day!) States such as California are mandating by law (Assembly Bill 939) that communities must reduse their waste by 50% of 1994 levels by the year 2000. Being that 30 -40% of all daily landfill waste is biodegradable (green waste from yard trimmings, grass, food waste, paper products, cardboard, septage and sewer sludge) serious efforts in composting have been implemented. Standard methods of large scale composting usually involves a period of about 3-4 months to break down the matter a considerable amount. The lowly worm however can break down a large pile in approximately 3-4 weeks! If you are considering raising and breeding redworms for profit there is little doubt that you will be able to find quite a vast market ahead of you. Landfills are literally scrambling to get their hands on these hard working, always hungry little busy bodies and paying unheard of amounts alloted to them by the cities. And this is just one of the markets! Others include the sale of the many byproducts of this industry including castings, worm tea (a fertilizer), and even chocolate covered worms! Yes this can be a VERY lucrative business oppurtunity and some of the largest growers started with, literally, just a handful of worms.
