An urban compost tumbler is designed to permit composting without the open bins that have been banned in many cities. These open bins attract pests and emit offensive odors. Let's fact it, rotting food scraps are inherently a health hazard; they draw gnats, flies, and animals. The easy-to-use, fully-enclosed urban compost tumbler makes composting safe and free of the problems associated with open composters.

The recycled barrel is made of UV-protected plastic, which is rated food grade. It holds 55 gallons, and its height/width measurements are 44 inches/32 inches. The stand for the tumbler is also recycled materials: stretch film, paper, plastic grocery bags.

Urban Compost Tumbler Saves Space and Time

Not many people have the time to commit to composting the old-fashioned way, with manual turning of the compost with a shovel or pitchfork. Turning is a critical part of the process, however, because oxygen is needed to start the composting process and to maintain it successfully. The bacteria that break down the food scraps will not survive in a compacted, airless environment. This composter has a center bar that helps to separate the compost as the tumbler turns.

An urban compost tumbler is a great piece of garden equipment, along with backyard greenhouses, for utilizing space well and providing essential fertilizer for gardens. Its recycled materials will not rust, and its contents are safe from children and raccoons. Portable and easy to turn and tumble, this is an ideal composter for anyone who wants an odorless method to produce nutritious fertilizer for plants.
