FAQs
What can I compost in the bin?
You can compost most food scraps including vegetable peelings, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells.
How often should I empty the bin?
Empty the bin as needed, typically every few days to a week, depending on usage and size.
How do I clean the compost bin?
Wash the bin with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.
Can I put meat or dairy in the compost bin?
It is not recommended to compost meat or dairy in this type of bin, as they may attract pests and cause odors. This bin is for kitchen scraps only.
What should I do if my compost bin attracts pests?
Ensure the lid is tightly closed. Bury food scraps within the compost. Consider adding a layer of dry leaves or paper on top. If pests persist, empty the bin and thoroughly clean it.
What are 'green' and 'brown' materials?
'Green' materials are nitrogen-rich (food scraps). 'Brown' materials are carbon-rich (dry leaves, paper).
Where can I put the compost after the bin is full?
You can transfer the contents to a larger compost bin or pile in your backyard or garden.
Troubleshooting
Unpleasant odors are present.
Ensure the lid is securely closed. Add ‘brown’ materials like paper towels or leaves to the contents. Clean the bin regularly.
Compost is not breaking down.
Ensure a good mix of ‘green’ and ‘brown’ materials. Ensure the compost is moist, but not soaking wet. Stir the compost occasionally.
