So please, before you throw your waste away think about how worms can recycle and how you can help save the world. In my own opinion everyone should have a worm box in their house. Worms provide a simple yet effective means to convert organic waste into a nutrient-rich material capable of supporting plant growth. The worms don't make any noise while they are digesting their food. Toxic flue gases from incinerators permeate not only the immediate atmosphere, but also the atmosphere continents away from where the burning takes place.
Worms are easy to feed.
You just feed them garbage. Burial of organic waste in landfills presents problems as well. It takes up space nearly 18 percent waste stream is yard waste, another 7 to 8 percent food waste. If a city had 4,000 worm bins and five pounds of food waste, each week in their worm bin, that would be 20,000 pounds of waste per week. In one year over five hundred tons of garbage could be eaten by worms.
