It's Earth Day, which gives us all a chance to consider our impact on the environment. Composting is one of the best and easiest ways to make a sustainable change to your lifestyle. Compost returns nutrients to the soil and keeps your kitchen scraps out of landfill.
Residential waste is 40 percent compostable materials, so investing in a compost bin is a great way to reduce your waste output. Composting food waste will eventually turn it back to soil, which will improve air circulation and fertilize your garden. It will also save you money on buying soil!
We've rounded up our favorite deals on compost bins, suitable for those with large outdoor spaces and also smaller spaces. Be sure to check out our guide on how to make compost to get an idea of what you'll need for your specific space.
Many communities have compost drop off points, meaning there's no reason you can't get composting even if you haven't got a garden to store compost in or fertilize. Just go for one of our best kitchen composter deals and drop off as needed.
