Existing Client
★★★★★
“I am an existing client with A & A Worm Farm Waste System and have been for 8 years. I cannot agree with the review posted by Julie C on so many fronts. Our experience during the entire permit process, co ordinating the installation and after sales service has been very impressive. After 8 years we have never had a problem with the system, appreciate the fact all our food waste & organic matter are able to be disposed into the system with our garden benefiting from the beautiful worm liquid. Any time we have asked a question the response has been very professional and helpful. We have recommended this system to all our friends and neighbors The internet is a marvellous tool however can be used in such a negative way by competitors”

System installed last week
★★★★★
“We had the new system installed last week, but our house is not finished yet so i cant review the system itself. However the service and installation was fantastic, we have a bit of a difficult block, and with some tree issues we had to rethink some of the trenching onsite at the time. This was no issue for Peter who took it all in his stride. He went to great efforts to get it all installed (which was over 3 days due to our difficult terrain). Liz in the office offered great communication and always ensured we knew when Peter was coming. Looking forward to seeing how the actual system performs”

Hasn't missed a beat
★★★★★
“Over the past 18 months we have been using our septic system which we bought from Worm Farm Waste Systems. I didn't really have any expectations in the beginning. The whole process of getting a septic system approved and installed was very new to us. But we are very impressed with how the system is performing on a day to day basis. I sometimes forget its even there because I cannot hear the pump turn on. We've had extra people stay on weekends and the system hasn't missed a beat. If anyone is thinking of a septic system thats costs next to nothing to run and is super environmentally friendly then this is it. Thanks Worm Farm”
- Debbie Forster
Highly Recommend this to anyone
★★★★★
“We had our new septic system installed last month and its amazing. It's crazy what these worms can do with all our sewage, black water and food scraps. Even when we had a function over the weekend with 10 extra people in the house the system never missed a beat. From quote to installation the whole process was seamless. If you want to improve your local environment I can highly recommend anyone the worm farm waste system”
- Roger Hamilton
Couldn't be happier
★★★★★
“12 months in and we couldn't be happier. The system works extremely well no matter what we throw at it. Even over Christmas with more than 15 people staying in the house we could not fault it. We give it the worm farm waste system the thumbs up. From our initial enquiry all the way to the installation the service was exceptional. Thank you!!!”
- Michael Koster
Neighbours have a system
★★★★★
“We have neighbours who have a septic tank system installed by Worm Farm Waste Systems and its fantastic. They are always telling us we should get one. Its cheap to run and where the trenches good looks very green and healthy. We save up to put our food scraps into their system. Hopefully we can get a Worm Farm Waste System soon.”

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 Frog
We use the frog as a mascot 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 our Eco-Friendly Septic Tank Systems and as they die in polluted water. What better proof is there of how healthy the environment becomes when you install one of our systems.
