will the scraps actually compost in this or must they be moved to a regular compost bin?

Well, if you leave scraps in the container long enough they will break down. But the container is not designed to be a compost bin.

I move scraps periodically to the worm composter, but, if you maintained proper conditions, I guess you could compost small amounts in the canister.

They must be moved to a regular compost bin. This is just to collect scraps.

I just jeep mine in this bin until I move them to my regular compost bin. Not sure if it would compost in the stainless bin, but maybe? Mines just a holding tank until it goes outside.

We use a compost bag and move them to our composer. Too small to be a composer itself.

they most definitely will not compost in this. unless you create the worlds smallest compost bin with this :) this is meant for keeping them in your kitchen/house until you can transfer them to something bigger.

Yes, tie sack up and put in watebasket. Be sure to line wastebasketwith a plastic bag, such as from a supermarket. Then tie up the liner bagand put all in trash dumpster, or where ever you put trash for pick up.

Our county recommends that every time you add food scraps to the composter, cover them with enough "browns" (i.e. dead leaves) to mask the smell of the food. This should keep your compost from attracting animals.

This is not a composter. It is simply a container for collecting waste from preparing meals before carrying the waste to the trash barrel or compost pile.

It needs to go into a compost bin. If it doesn't go in with composting it becomes more landfill. That said, if it is compostible, it came from non-petroleum products, which is good in itself...

Haven't done it yet but it seems that the easiest way would be simply to lift the bin off the compost. It's not heavy but it might take two people because of the size. Sift whatever compost is ready, then put the bin back and toss whatever's not ready back in.

i bought this compost bin because it was cheap and works just as well as any other open lid style. i add yard waste and food scraps. i usually put the food scraps in the middle and cover them with the yard waste to avoid critters. from all i have read it takes about 90 days for the process to complete but it could be less depending on temp etc ... , and if the bin is full. you can also use a booster to speed up the process.

I have a compost heap out in my back yard. I take stuff out to it all year long. Some people have 2. One cooking and one building. You can do it however you like, obviously.

It could have something to do with what you are composting. Have you put in grease, meat, or animal waste? Those items do not go in the bin.

Usually toxic material from home is picked up by your city. Or there may be drop offs already in place. I usually wrap up my waste and dispose it that way than throwing it out.

This is just a collector of waste/kitchen scraps that we kept on the kitchen counter. As it fills up we empty it into a composter.

Sorry, don't compost. I suggest you contact St. Gabriel Organics for info like that.

I don't throw away things that I know will stink, so I don't know. I use a compost pile or my outside trash for that. Sorry!

No, this bucket is simply used to store kitchen scraps before taking them outside to your compost bin; you dont actually compost in this bucket.

Composting bags? Not sure what that is, but no. You just dump all your kitchen scraps in the bucket (and I mean ALL---small bones, meat, everything), and then sprinkle the bokashi bran on top of each layer. When the bucket is totally full, you let it sit for a few weeks and then either dump it in your compost bin outdoors or bury it next to your garden plants. The worms love this stuff. Hope that answers your question.

Remove the Geobin and set it up again next to where it is now . Put the top of the pile into the now empty bin and the bottom is the compost you can use .

You don't "rotate" the contents. This is not a drum style composter that spins. You have to use an implement of choice to turn your material by hand.
