FAQ List

How often should I empty my compost bin?

The frequency of emptying your compost bin depends on its size and the amount of waste you generate. As a general guideline, it is recommended to empty the bin every 1-2 weeks to prevent odors and ensure proper decomposition.

Can I compost meat and dairy products in my kitchen compost bin?

It is best to avoid composting meat and dairy products in your kitchen compost bin, as they can attract pests and create unpleasant odors. Stick to composting fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea leaves, and other plant-based materials.

Do I need to add anything to my kitchen compost bin to aid in decomposition?
