Temple waste normally contains floral offering, leaves and milk product i.e. “Abishek waste water”, and this solid waste management is one of the important issues in the world, because of shortage ofdumping sites and strict environmental legislation. Now days ‘Nirmalyasolid waste’ is generated in large quantity due toincreased in population are commonly treated using different types of bins by the method of composting or vermicomposting. Vermicomposting of solid waste can be done by using different types of earthworms providing natural and artificial aeration along with mixture of cow dung and soil, artificial aeration is carried out by providing diffused aerators or perforated pipes. The parameters like C/N ratio, temperature, moisture contain are carried out.  The main objective of this study is to minimize the problem of solid waste management by treating nirmalya solid waste by vermicomposting and suggesting that which method gives good quality of compost at short interval of time comparing artificial and natural aeration composting.
