compost bin
Scraps decompose here
A compost bin is a container for decomposing organic waste into nutrient-rich soil amendment.
Kitchen scraps, yard trimmings, and other biodegradable materials go in; finished compost comes out months later.
Bins range from simple wooden frames to rotating drums that speed decomposition: I tossed the banana peels in the compost bin.
