Frame Assembly
Step 1. Join the Left Leg
Frames (tapered) with the
Right Leg Frames, lining
up the pre-drilled holes
on the end of each frame
(Fig. 2). Do not secure the
frames with bolts until
Step 3. If the holes do
not align correctly, you
may simply need to more
closely examine the frame
assembly diagram and re-
verse the position of the
Leg Frames.
Step 2. Join the Shoulder
Frames with the Left and
Right Leg Frames on each
side. Line up the predrilled
holes where the frames
meet (Fig. 2).
Step 3. Thread a Bolt
through each of the 6
predrilled holes, with the
head of each bolt facing
out. Use an adjustable
wrench or pliers to hold
the nut while you use the
screwdriver to tighten the
bolts.

The dual bins on this composter are independent of each other so as you’re fiinishing one batch
you can still add fresh food scraps and yard waste to the other bin. The sliding doors on each unit
make it easy to access the finished compost or to add new materials. The black color and extra thick
walls retain heat to help keep the materials inside cooking. Handholds make it easy to turn the bins
every few days. The Dual Batch Compost Tumbler is molded from recycled, UV-inhibited plastic and
each bin holds 3 cu. ft.
