How do I work out what size bin I need?

The size of your household and your garden would determine the size of bin you need. For a family of three or four that eats fruit and vegetables regularly, one 330 litre compost converter bin would be a good start.

If you have a larger garden, you would probably need two 330 litre bins. For a two person household with a small garden, then either the 220 litre compost converter or the Komp 250 bin would be fine.

If you are unsure about the actual size of the bins and how they will fit into your garden, the measurements of the different bins are available on this website.
