In earthworm the organs of excretion are the nephridia. Each nephridium is a long tube which opens at one end in to the body cavity by a ciliated funnel, the nephrostome and at the other end to the outside body by an opening, the nephridiophore in the skin. the nephrostome of a nephridium in a segment lies in the segment next in front of it. The nitrogenous wastes, such as ammonia and urea are collected by nephrostome, dropped into the lumen of the nephridium which contracts rhythmically pushing the waste products outside the body for removal through the nephridiophore in the skin.

And, of course, earthworms are segmented.
