We have some great options for you! Check out our recommendations below.

Looking to go zero waste? Keep in mind that some types of food waste should only be added to your compost bin in small amounts. To get around this, pre-ferment all food waste in a Bokashi bin before adding it to your compost.

With over 6L of food waste per week, you may also need to consider purchasing more than one composting system.

Maintenance

  • Collect food scraps and garden matter, and add them to the bin
