Home Waste Management

Worms are the neatest thing to come down the pike in as long as I can remember! When it comes to managing family waste in an earth-friendly way, they just can't be beaten. About 90% of the waste your home generates can be recycled in one way or another and about 60 to 70% is of organic origin (worm food!). What that means is this, if you seperate the recyclable inorganics like metals, glass and plastics, and drop them at a recyclers, do some worm assisted outdoor composting to take care of yard and garden 'green waste' as well as a chunk of your trash paper, and feed your indoor vermicomposter all the food scraps, coffee filters etc., you will have reduced your outgoing garbage to the curb (Please take out the trash honey...), to one trip where you were making 10! Even if you aren't super at it, half the trips to the dump would be a real plus to the environment and a lot easier on your back!
