My best advice is to set up a test bin and see how it works out. I have found over the years that if you take action and stop planing you will get your answers pretty fast.
Good luck

I'm in the corporate world and my corporation ships many tons of trash to the landfill each year. One of our goals in the next few years is to reduce our land fill waste by 25%. I'm talking about a facility that employs 15,000 to 20,000 people at one site. It has bothered me that the paper towel waste from restrooms accounts for such a high percentage (by volume) of our landfill destined waste. Since I raise worms myself and use some paper products in the mix, I've often wondered if there is any research showing vermicomposting as a viable means to process industial volumes of paper waste. So, my primary question is: Can vermicomposting be used to process waste where the food/bedding is a very high percentage of already moist paper towels? We have cafeterias on-site that may provide some food waste but, my suspicion is that there wouldn't be enough food variety and microbial activity to sustain a worm population. Has anyone seen vermicoposting used in an industrial setting such as this?

I would suggest that you contact the head of the janitorial staff and arrange to get some lavatory paper some kitchen waste mix it together ad add worms you might be surprised at how well they eat it all.

Then start looking around for other sources of 'food'. Does your site have any lawns or other landscaping- grass and prunings will provide food. and the castings you produce can be spread directly on site to improve the environment for your staff.

You'd also be surprised at how much food is acrtually produced in a cafeteria- pre-consumer waste is often greater in weight than food consumed by the customer -especiallty if you prepare food from scratch. Get cafeteria staff to source-separate waste for a month or so to measure how much organic waste is actually produced.

worms don't get bored with the same diet day in day out.
they get use to eating one thing and are quite happy doing it . just one suggestion get some bath room towels from the janitoral staff and some kitchen waste mix it together feed it to the worms and see how fast it takes a given amount of worms to eat it

Information and solution meetings have very different goals and processes. Information meetings happen periodically and have just one person updating a group of any size. Solution meetings, on the other hand, happen when a group of up to nine experts get together to solve a problem. Ed Muzio, CEO of Group Harmonics, says using meetings for the right reasons will avoid frustration and wasting time
