Vegetable waste from households and markets contributes to contamination of the environment, changes in the global climate, and risks to human health. The techniques used for their management and disposal are inadequate. The goal of this study was to use the earth worm species Eudrilus eugeniae and Eisenai fetida to turn vegetable market trash into vermicompost. After 40 days, organic waste is allowed to decompose with the aid of earth worms, forming compost. The vermicompost was then collected and examined. Temperature, pH level, moisture content, and organic content were among the parameters that were assessed. The final product indicates that there is an increase in nutritional content. Vermicomposting encourages plant development and enhances soil quality, which is beneficial for handling many types of household, commercial, and agricultural waste. Vermicomposting is therefore an extremely nutrient-rich organic fertiliser.
