Global Worming

Global worming and schools

Date posted Jul 7, 2018

Global worming has embarked on an exciting collaborative project with many schools in NSW and Canberra. Organic waste is being collected from classrooms, staffrooms and the canteen and recycled into an organic fertiliser using worms. While for most schools the organic waste is being collected and transferred offsite to Global worming farms, there are seven schools processing all organic waste on site using worm farms set up and managed by Global worming. Onsite management of organic waste is achieved with several models with the most popular being a leased farm arrangement. With the support of the ACTSMART school program, Global worming has also established host schools whereby all organic waste from the school along with 2-3 nearby schools is being composted within the school grounds using worms. Two trial host school operations are being evaluated by the ACT government over a 12 month period. All worm farms have been established using the same design as that created by Global worming. These worm farms are modular and able to be expanded as required. For a typical school the farms are 6 metres long and 1.8 metres wide.
