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.

Suitable for households with access to a garden, the Dirt Vader turns any household's food scraps to the 'dirt side' with this large capacity 220 litre on-ground composting bin.

Maintenance

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

  • Aeration (stirring) upon every addition of food scraps
