The study of vermicomposting optimization of organic waste aimed to produce vermicompost from urban raw waste, and to select one of three kinds of worm which had significant effect in the production of vermicompost. The writers conducted a research during June to August 2012, by treating three varieties of worm named: G1 = Lumbricus rubellus; G2 = Lumbricus terrestris; G3 = Eisenia foetida, and used Fully Randomized Design (FRD) for each type of worms. The research variables were C/N ratio, C organic, N, P¬2O5, and K2O. The writers analysed the vermicompost treatment results in the laboratory, followed by ANOVA. The researchers used gentong (barrel-shaped potteries) as a research tool; and obtained organic waste materials from the local landfill. The result showed that it was possible to produce organic fertilizer from urban waste materials with vermicomposting process using Lumbricus rubellus, Lumbricus terrestris and Eisenia foetida. Moreover, apparently, Lumbricus rubellus had the highest influence in the production of vermicompost.
