METHOD FOR PROCESSING SOLID ORGANIC WASTES BY TECHNOLOGICAL EARTHWORMS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B09B3/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method of processing solid organic wastes by technological earthworms includes loosening the organic waste mass of a formed dump or a landfill exhausted its resource, restricting the mass by vertical shaft-forming perforated cages for retaining the waste mass from crumbling, in which an elastic sleeve is laid alternately with skipping one row, which is filled with an inert carrier mixed with nutrient substrate and populated with technological earthworms Eisena fetida. After complete migration of the worm in the waste mass, the sleeve is removed from the shaft and is sent to filling with another nutrient mixture portion and populating with the worm. After processing the waste mass, the sleeve with a nutritional bait, which serves as a trap for transferring the worms to new sites, is lowered into the shaft, with repeating this operation until complete removal of the worms from the resulting vermicompost, the sign of which is the height reduction of the laid substrate up to 60% of the initial volume. Thereinafter the vermicompost is separated and transported to the consumer, and the MSW mineral component remainder is sent to crushing and sorting.

EFFECT: use of said invention excludes the costs for manual labour, heating and aeration.
