Eco-friendly Composter!

This is a 55 gallon tumbling composter. This barrel is up-cycled from a used 55 gallon black barrel and a plastic lumber frame. This barrel includes a center tube and inner steel bars. This container is efficient at composting because the barrel insulates heat while the center tube releases excess moisture for a drier interior. The steel bars inside the barrel, when the barrel is rocked and spun, break up the compost and prepare it for better aeration.

Specification Sheet

Material:

High density polyethylene (HDPE ) is the most commonly used resin. This economical plastic has good impact and chemical resistance, is naturally translucent and flexible. It is typically used for personal care products such as shampoo bottles. Adding color will give HDPE an opaque look that will result in an increase in weight and rigidness. We have a variety of these rigid and tough high density polyethylene products in stock, from containers, pails, bottles, caps, tubs and jugs. HDPE works well in below freezing temperatures. HDPE heat compatibility varies. Maximum fill temperature is generally around 171°F; however, testing is recommended with your specific product and application. Distortion occurs between 220° to 250° F.
