How big is the opening to get the materials in and the compost out?

I haven't measured it, but the whole top opens. It is large enough to place an average trash can full of grass clippings, without any going on the ground. I haven't emptied it yet, looks to be a piece of cake. It is so easy to use, I love it. I hope this helps!

A whole section is on hinges so it lifts right up. Lots of room to get stuff in and out. If you go on lifetime.com it has pictures and a video. I love mine.

We have yet to get the composter together yet, but I would suggest watching the video on the page where this is advertised. It shows people adding to and emptying from the composter, so you can get an idea how large the opening is.

The openings are 3 1/2". I can get my hand in to get walnuts or almonds out and I use a 1/4 meas cup to get the popcorn out. I really like these canisters. Hope this helps.

The opening is 7 inches. I guess if the steamer basket was small enough it could fit.

I agree. The dimensions are 6 1/2" round and 4 3/4" square. I put the square one up in the top near the holes. It is thicker than the round one. then I put the round one in the bottom hole. I don't know why they make it square, but it serves the needed purpose in my composter.

the opening is quite wide, I use it for fancy salts, large rocky slat going there easy. It is about an inch in diameter.

The top opening is approx. 35 3/4 by 18 3/4 . It is curved at the dumping end. The bottom is approx. 26 x 14 1/2". It has a 1" ledge from the bottom that takes up some of the floor space, but not a problem for me. I am using mine for cleaning up. and feeding animals. Also, for gardening. Bought a 2nd one, light weight but sturdy enough to use for many chores.

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.

This compost pail is the ticket for Me. Fits on the counter and has easy open lid. Takes about 1 week to fill ,complete with carbon filter.

You use a 3 gallon size compostable bag. 16.9" x 17.7" is the measurements of the bag I'm using.

Yes, opening is big enough for a standard size spade or scoop, but I'd suggest just putting a bin, tray, box below, rolling it to a dump-a-able point and pulling/dumping the amount you want out.

It's pouring buckets here right now so I won't be able to get out there to measure but I would say pretty close to the stated size since the walls are only 1 inch thick. There is plenty of room for our chairs, snowblower, seeder, garden tools, power washer, yard games, rakes, shovels, and some smaller items. We also use the shelves which help immensely.

I recall it was about 1-1.13" opening. I stopped using it after about a year when it began to rust

If I remember correctly the actual opening is 8". I ended up not using it because the opening was described as 6", I believe.

The opening is a little less than 1/2 inch. The total diameter is about 3/4 inch.

The opening is narrower than my shovel so I use a hand spade and small bucket. A friend has a screen to remove larger items not fully composted and returns them to the composter. I remove those as I spade out.

The opening is exactly 1.5 inches in diameter. I was able to easily fit my standard umbrella pole into it.

Well, amazon asked me to answer your question since I own this product. However they neglected to send me the name of the product or a picture of it... I'm going to have to guess and say the opening is anywhere between 1/2 an inch to 6 feet tall. Wish I could clarify further! (Amazon... Good idea, but this was poorly executed).
