Eco-Friendly Wastewater Treatment Systems
We manufacture and install Australia’s No 1 sewage and wastewater management system for residential, commercial and rural applications in Australia today.
Other systems struggle to compare with the benefits and features of the worm farm waste system.
Eco-friendly septic tank systems are designed to minimise environmental impact and promote sustainable waste management.
The A&A Worm Farm Waste System is a smart choice for those looking to minimise their environmental footprint and contribute to sustainable living practices.
Not ALL Septic Systems Are EQUAL
Septic systems are individual wastewater treatment systems commonly used in rural and suburban areas where centralised sewer systems are not available. They treat and dispose of household wastewater on-site.
The A&A Worm Farm Septic System is powerful organic wastewater treatment system that effectively processes sewage, all household wastewater and organic garbage, including food and vegetation, as well as some weeds.
Combined with naturally occurring organisms, the worm liquid opens up and improves the quality of your soil. Our process enables the reuse and recycling of liquid fertiliser to flow under your garden, lawns and bush land.
Independently tested the Worm Farm Waste System is super fast at processing sewage, wastewater and organic waste. In fact 20 times faster than a normal septic system.
Secondary Treatment Accredited
We are very excited to announce this accreditation, particularly as our Worm Farm Waste System achieved compliance within the first week of testing without any modifications to our original design.
The results prove our system has always delivered a high-quality level of effluent.
The original A&A Worm Farm Waste System is now accredited for secondary AS 1546.3:2017
Our system truly cares for the environment in so many ways and is the future of wastewater management.

Urban Myths Exposed
Household cleaners will not kill the worms and our septic tank systems will not fail as a result of medications taken.
People Are Talking About Our Eco-Friendly Septic System
Strongly Recommend
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
We built our new farm house in the Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains in 2011 and installed a worm farm at the recommendation of our builder. It was considered so much better than a septic system for a range of reasons.
It has operated smoothly, and with no problems since then.
I would strongly recommend the system for anyone in our circumstances.
It is testament of the strength of the product and it’s relevance that you are still operating after 26 years.
Thank you

Best Decision We Made
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
I just wanted to say, putting in a worm farm waste system instead of the councils recommended pumped UV treatment plant has got to be one of the best decisions we ever made when we were building.
Ours has been running smoothly for about 10 years now. (I think). Has absolutely no bad smell at all and doesn’t require any electricity or on going maintenance costs to keep operating properly.
It took a lot of research at the beginning to find you guys and to convince council and builders it was a good system back then, but I’m glad we got it through.

The Smart Choice
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
We’ve had our system for over 2 years now and it’s been the smart choice of the septic systems we looked at.
The running costs have been minimal and its needed no maintenance.
It’s been excellent using the system day to day including the disposal of our organic waste.
Big plus for the environment as well. Highly recommend this septic tank system to anyone.

Do You Know Your Septic Tank Regulations
Onsite wastewater management systems (Septic Tank Systems) are used on residential, community, rural and commercial premises. In each state of Australia the regulations for a onsite wastewater treatment can be very different.
That’s why we have added all the councils we have dealt with since 1996 with links to help you understand your local council septic tank regulations. Your local council will also be able to assist when it comes to understanding your septic system cost.
About The Humble Frog
We use the frog as our logo on our website, brochures and vehicles because they are excellent indicators of local environmental health. Frogs disappear when the environment is under stress and return when conditions improve.
It is not unusual to find frogs living happily in the effluent pump chute proving that our system works with nature without chemicals.
Installing one of our systems is a positive way you can improve the environment by turning ‘Waste into Soil’
