Have you ever used or heard about compost bin？

When I chatted with one of my collegues, an environmental protector, he mentioned the "compost bin". It was the first time I heard of it, and I even asked him to write down the spelling. 

He said in order to protect the enviroment to provent the global warming, he has been using the solar systems, driving a electric car, becoming vegetarian, and using compost bin，etc. He said he used compost bin to manage his organic waste which overtime can turned into rish fertilizer being  used in the yougarden.  It ends up only dumping his home trash every other week as most of organic waste were managed in the compost bin！

I wonder what compost bin looks like. And it would be very useful for the green fingers of MYSJ.:)

Here is some introduction about compost bin.

Most compost bins are designed to hasten the decomposition of organic matter through proper aeration and moisture retention. With the proper combination of air and moisture, ideal conditions are produced for the activity of aerobic organisms responsible for the high temperatures that transform the organic materials into compost.1

 

What Is a Compost Bin?

A compost bin is a container into which you place organic waste to turn into compost over time. Some bins are continuous, meaning you can keep adding waste to them, while others create batches of compost with a set mix of ingredients you add all at once.

The same process will eventually take place over time in a compost "pile" or "heap," even without any housing. However, with a bin, you can speed up decomposition. Depending on the style of compost bin you choose, bins can also have the advantage of making it harder for rats to get at your compost. This is true of the tumbler type, for example.
