compost bins
Garden waste receptacles
Compost bins are containers designed to hold organic waste—food scraps, yard trimmings, leaves—while it decomposes into nutrient-rich soil amendment.
They range from simple backyard tumblers to municipal-scale units.
The enclosed structure speeds decomposition by retaining heat and moisture while keeping pests out: We added the coffee grounds to the compost bin.
