The substrate moisture content and its temperature were monitored regularly and the vermireactors were evaluated weekly for the assessment of temporal changes of earth-worms. Two types of vermireactors (with and without trays) at three different areal load-ings running under three different evaporative cooling vermicompos-ters (passive, direct active and indirect active) were operated for seven weeks experimentation period. A kitchen waste is undertaken in this study due to its majority in municipal wastes and the disposal process of it is costly. Rapid urbanization has led to dumping of kitchen wastes causing a serious threat to the environment.
