Abstract: Solid waste management is a major issue in educational campuses in India. Tons of solid waste generated every year from office paper waste, canteen waste, garden waste, fallen leaves of various plants etc. Improper dumping, fire of this solid waste mainly causes water, soil and air pollution. In this study, campus waste has been recycled with the help of vermicomposting technologies. The species of earthworm used for vermicomposting was Eisenia foetida. Vermicompost was prepared from college campus waste. Initial feed mixture and final vermicompost was used for preparation of vermiwash. Physico-chemical properties of vermiwash were studied. There was significant decrease in pH, total carbon and electrical conductance and significant increase in plant nutrients was observed in vermiwash obtained from initial feed mixture to vermiwash obtained from final vermicompost.

Key words: Campus solid wastes, Vermicomposting, Eisenia foetida, Vermiwash, Chemical analysis.
