Abstract

The problem with organic waste is very common nowadays, recyclable actions and reductions are physic and chemical process which are expensive.

When the sewage sludge works with the vermicompost technique helps the product in nutriments, organic matter stabilization and soil improvation. References show the importance in using different organic waste for reincorporation to the environment. Parameters for preparing a vermicompost are pH, temperature, moisture total solid nitrogen, carbon, relation C/N and humid acids. The importance of this text is based in the necessity of using vermicompost amendments with the sewage sludge. This could be use as manure for the plant development and is an alternative in soils agricultural. It might be a solution and final disposition. On the other hand the earthworm has a participation bioaccumulation heavy metals and reducing toxicity levels in the environment.
