How the Aerobin Works:

  • The Aerobin is a technological breakthrough in home and garden waste management. It uses a patented lung® or aeration core inside a sealed bin to promote aerobic break down of organic matter, which experts say is the preferable method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The thermal insulation in the Aerobin conserves heat, leading to rapid breakdown of the biomass and works efficiently year round, even in cooler regions.
  • There is no need to turn the biomass and it is pet and rodent resistant.
  • It has little odor and can kill noxious weeds and seeds. The Aerobin is so easy to use - just open, drop and close. After a short time, fertile compost is produced, which is easily accessed via the lower side door.
  • Compost releases nutrients from organic matter to feed your plants and improve your soil and you can achieve this with hardly any effort and no mess. You can regularly put a mixture of wet materials such as food scraps, coffee grounds and lawn clippings together with dry materials such as leaves, twigs and newspaper into the bin and because it breaks down material so fast, the bin should always have plenty of room.
  • With the revolutionary Aerobin you can contribute positively to the environment with aerated composting of house and garden waste, rather than dumping your food scraps and garden waste in the garbage bin and adding to environmental problems. Join the Aerobin revolution - dispose of household and garden waste simply, cleanly and be greenhouse friendly.

How to get started?

Positioning your Aerobin Composter

  • The Aerobin Composter is best placed in a shady or partially shady area.
  • It will function best on a level, firm and even surface (ideally on large pavers or concrete). It can weigh up to 400kg when full, so it is crucial that the whole underneath surface is well supported.
  • Choose your spot carefully as it is not recommended that you move your Aerobin after you start using it (if you need to move it, you will need to remove the matter inside it first).

Getting your compost bin going

  • The Aerobin Composter has been designed to be easy to use, with no maintenance or turning required.
  • To start composting - simply open the lid, drop in a mix of brown (dry) and green (wet) organic materials (see table below on what can go into the Aerobin).
  • Close the lid and that's it!
  • Keep adding a similar mix of organic material regularly - try to keep the amount of wet and dry material even, layering around 4 - 12cm of each type of material at a time (for example, for every bucket of kitchen scraps (green/wet) add a bucket of dry garden material or scrunched paper (brown/dry).

What can go into the bin?

  • Most organic waste can go into the compost bin - the system will work best with an even mix of Green (wet) and Brown (dry) materials:

Green (Wet) Materials

Brown (Dry) Materials

Do Not Use...
  • Food scraps
  • Citrus & onion peels
  • Vegetable peelings
  • Lawn clippings*
  • Weeds
  • Green garden cuttings
  • Coffee grounds
  • Tea-leaves & tea bags
  • Leaves & small twigs
  • Shredded / crumpled newspaper or office paper
  • Roots or branches (finely chipped or mulched)

  • Oils
  • Meat
  • Fish

  • Ash
  • Faeces from meat eating animals

* Note: "Sir Walter Buffalo" grass is very moist, so mix it with more dry materials.

Performance & Testing

  • Developed by an Australian company, this new technology came about as a result of concern for the carbon cycle on planet Earth. The unit has been tested and proven to achieve the highest performance in composting against world ranking compost units at the Swinburne University of Technology, Environment & Biotechnology Centre.
