Composting Bins and Systems
There are a tremendous number of options for containing your compost. Some people choose to go binless, simply building a compost pile in a convenient spot on the ground. Others build bins from materials such as recycled pallets, or two-by-fours and plywood. And, of course, there are many commercial bins on the market.
Wire Mesh Composting Bin
Wire mesh bins are the quickest and least expensive bins to construct. They can be used as holding and turning bins, or in combination with one of the larger bins as temporary storage.
Wood and Wire Compost Bin
This portable bin provides a convenient way to compost yard materials. It fits well in small spaces and may be used either as a holding bin or as a portable turning unit. To turn the pile, harvest finished compost or build a new pile, simply undo the latches, pull the sides apart and move it.
Build a Compost Bin
Every year we throw away 24 million tons of leaves and grass clippings that could be composted to conserve landfill space. In order to compost though, you need a composting bin. Here's how to make a two-bin composting bin...
Worm Composting Bin
This bin can be used year round to recycle most food wastes (don’t use meat, bones or fatty foods like dairy products or cooking oil). This bin’s size is convenient for using indoors on a table top. A box this size will handle about 6 pounds of garbage per week (typical for a family of four to six).
How to Build a Compost Bin
Easy to build and least labor intensive. Good for small compost amounts of yard wastes. Slowest way to compost.
Compost/Garbage Bin
A compost pile is not a garbage pile, and one way to clearly differentiate between the two is with an enclosure -- a compost bin. The ideal bin retains heat and moisture, is easy to fill and empty, and fends off raccoons, stray dogs, and other animals.
