What is composting?

How do you get started?

• For beginners | Try it out before you commit. This bin is easy to clean and is perfect for collecting scraps on your counter.
• For style icons | Composting, but make it cute. Just don’t mistake this odor-free bin for your cookie jar.
• For the serious gardener | This 43-gallon container rotates — no more mixing compost by hand — and has two chambers so you can add fresh waste while the older batch finishes up.
• For the landscaper | If you plan to compost mostly yard waste, this open-top bin is a good alternative to a pile.

What can you compost?

• Green: fruits, vegetables, bread, coffee grounds, grass clippings, tea, and hair
• Brown: dryer lint, egg shells, nut shells, sawdust, hay, leaves, shredded paper, and cardboard
