Compost bin not heating up
 
There are plenty of worms in there munching away but there does not
seem much heat and the breakdown looks slow.
Would a pee in there help by way of activation?

Your heap could be warmer at the centre. If worms are munching away
happily, it is quite likely that the material has completed
its process of composting and has settled down to ambient temperature.
Try either turning it or give it time to mature ready for garden use.

There's an urg composting FAQ at:
