Keeping Composting Bins


by DoItYourself Staff

Easy to use, and no smell

Composting bins are the perfect tool for those homeowners that want to compost but are wary of unsightly and smelly mounds of decomposing organic material. The bin is usually similar to a trash can, and allows for rotating the mixture for a more even and effective compost.

What for?

Keeping compost can do wonders for your yard. Compost is a highly nutritional soil product that can be made at home, and composting bins allow for convenient composting.

What to use?

Don’t throw anything in your bin or compost that you don’t know to be biodegradable. If it won’t biodegrade, then it won’t transform into soil. It’ll just get in the way of your compost. So keep it out.

Cost

Composting bins are relatively inexpensive considering their purpose. Proper composting bins will cost anywhere between fifty and two hundred dollars, but if style and design are less important to you than the cost, then just use a trash can. There is virtually no difference between the two.
