The wet garbage kept in the home for long time turns into filth. Some citizens throw garbage on the open ground or plot, thus creating health hazards to other citizens. However, some citizens thinking in positive way indulged in preparing vermiculture. They use big vessel for the purpose and the manure can be used in garden. Some of the people are also cultivating vegetables in their house premises by using manure.
