Title: NOT new - but can't find my last post!
Post by: tim on May 04, 2005, 18:32:47
COMPOST BINS - the 700l ones.

I put the Council ad on the board recently.  Now we have them -  in place of the sleeper bins that I put in 45 years ago & were starting to get a bit untidy.

looking good there, Tim.

i'm guessing to get the compost out, the corners 'hinge'? or?

what i would give for 3 compost bins....or even the space for three!

Yes - you pull up the 'pin' that anchors any 'corner', as far as you want, allowing 2 or 3 'flaps' to open up.

Tim,

I've seen that design before but haven't tried it.

How easy is it to replace the pin(s) if you have only part used the contents?

I've got a Rotol -which I think is the Dalek type- works well.

They are so much better than our dalek type ones, ours are an eye sore but I guess I'll just have to put up with them now.
