Wooden
Pallets in the bin?
Wooden
Pallet Bin
A very inexpensive bin can be made using wooden pallets. These
bins cost almost nothing and you divert pallets that would eventually
end up in the landfill. This design includes a removable front
to make it easy to turn the compost.
Materials
Four wooden
pallets
32 wood screws or bailing wire
Four bolt latches
Building
a Wooden Pallet Bin
Assembly is easy, just screw or wire three of the pallets together.
Attach bolt latches to the frount edge of the bin and the last
pallet to make a removable door.
Tip for Country Australian Composters
For Country Australia and other dry climates, this bin should
be lined with plastic. This helps keep the pile moist and decrease
the composting period. Staple a sheet of plastic to the three
sides of the bin and staple a separate plastic sheet to the front
door.
Variations
This bin can be easily converted into a two bin system using just
6 pallets. In a two bin system, the compost is turned by emptying
the full bin into the empty one and back again.
If you have lots of compostable material you could expand it to
a three-bin system using 10 pallets. You build a pile in the first
bin turning it into the second and then the third.
