HOT AND COLD COMPOSTING

A cold compost pile is the laid back way to recycle your yard materials.  A cold compost pile is built a little or all at once but with little turning.  It is ideal for a household that needs to manage material, has enough space to allow material to sit for 1 - 2 years and wants to put minimum work into managing their yard waste. Cold compost piles remain cool because it contains little or no green materials, moisture is not added and isn't turned so low oxygen is available.

A hot compost pile breaks down yard materials rapidly.  Hot composting is ideal for a household that has lots of yard materials, has limited space for a compost pile, wants a finished product in a short amount of time and is willing to actively work the material.

The Home Composter is available for sale at the Outagamie County Landfill.
