DoomsdaysCWEvery household should have one of these. I've been composting most of my life -- growing up, we had a big pile (mixed with chicken manure), when I lived in the suburbs of Boston, we shared a wooden bin with neighbors, who also gardened. I've always had one since I've lived in Maine -- again, a wooden bin shared by the whole apartment building. Of course, the bins eventually break down, so now, living out in the "country," I use <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EarthMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EarthMachine</a> composters (I bought one through a Maine program, my neighbor gave me the other). A lid flew away in a storm, and I was able to get a replacement lid direct from Earth Machine. Other than losing a lid, they have held up really well -- no cracks, and I've owned one for over 10 years and leave them out all winter. The design keeps critters out (that was a problem with the wooden bins). I turn the compost manually with a garden fork, so it gets nice and hot (and the dark color helps with that). They aren't cheap ($189 direct from the manufacturer), but sometimes municipal programs will offer them at a discounted rate (I think I paid $60 for mine)."Now from ORBIS (formerly Norseman Environmental). The 80-gallon Earth Machine is a durable backyard <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CompostBin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompostBin</a> designed to compost food and yard waste, effectively diverting it from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landfills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landfills</a>. When residents are encouraged to divert organics from the waste stream and are educated about the benefits of composting, up to 50% of organic waste can be diverted from the waste stream. The Earth Machine is for food and yard waste only. - 80-gallon, 300 liter capacity - Easy snap-together assembly - Twist locking lid - Harvest door, for easy compost removal - Vertical and horizontal ventilation - User guide, harvest door, lid, and screws included - BPA free - UV stabilizer is added to resist deterioration from sunlight - Made from recycled content<a href="https://www.orbiscorporation.com/en-us/products/environmental-recycling-and-waste/compost-bins/npl-300-earth-machine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.orbiscorporation.com/en-us/products/environmental-recycling-and-waste/compost-bins/npl-300-earth-machine/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterConservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterConservation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Landfills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Landfills</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReduceFoodWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReduceFoodWaste</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CompostFoodWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompostFoodWaste</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainwaterCollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainwaterCollection</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a>
