10 best urban composters

Urban composters are specialized containers or systems designed for composting organic waste in small urban spaces, such as balconies, patios, or even indoors. They cater to individuals who may not have access to a traditional outdoor compost pile or bin due to limited space or living arrangements.

Here are some key features and characteristics of urban composters:

  1. Compact Design: Urban composters are typically designed to be space-saving.They come in various sizes, but they are generally smaller and more streamlined compared to traditional outdoor compost bins.

  2. Airtight or Sealed: Many urban composters are designed to be airtight or have sealing mechanisms to control odor and prevent pests from accessing the composting materials.

  3. Ventilation Systems: Some urban composters come with built-in ventilation systems or mechanisms to ensure proper airflow, which is essential for the composting process.

  4. Material Compatibility: They are designed to compost kitchen scraps and other organic waste, such as fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells, and small amounts of yard waste.

  5. Composting Process: Urban composters typically utilize aerobic composting, which relies on microorganisms (bacteria, fungi) to break down organic matter into nutrient-rich compost. This process requires regular turning or mixing of the compost.

  6. Worm Composting (Vermicomposting): Some urban composters use worms (usually red wigglers) to aid in the decomposition process. This type of composting, known as vermicomposting, is especially well-suited for indoor composting.

  7. Odor Control: Many urban composters come with features or materials (such as carbon filters or special liners) to help control odors associated with composting.

  8. Harvesting Compost: Once the composting process is complete, urban composters typically have a mechanism or compartment for easy removal of finished compost.

  9. Durability and Weather Resistance: Urban composters are often built to withstand various weather conditions, as they may be used outdoors. They are typically made from materials like plastic, metal, or durable plastics.

  10. Ease of Use: They are designed to be user-friendly, allowing individuals to easily add kitchen scraps and maintain the composting process.

  11. Integration with Urban Living: Urban composters are designed to seamlessly fit into urban living spaces, with considerations for aesthetics and functionality.

  12. Price Range: Urban composters come in a range of prices, from budget-friendly options to more premium models with additional features.

When choosing an urban composter, consider factors such as the amount of organic waste you generate, available space, and any specific features or functionalities that are important to you. Properly managed, urban composters can turn kitchen scraps into valuable, nutrient-rich compost that can be used to enrich soil for potted plants, gardens, or even indoor houseplants.

User questions & answers

Question: Does it need to sit in sunlight
Answer: It should sit in the sun. The heat from the sun helps break down the compost.
Question: Does this have drainage
Answer: It doesn't have true "drainage," but it is not air tight. When I add water from time to time, it does leak a bit.
Question: would bears be able to get into this
Answer: I would say yes. It's sturdy enough to handle the compost, but a decent sized bear would probably be able to break it apart.
Question: How do you dump the compost out of the bin
Answer: open the sliding door, put a tub under it and rotate until it begins to dump out

Urban Worm Bag Worm Composting Bin Version 2 - Eliminates Need to Manually Sort Worms from Compost

Urban Worm

Based on 240 reviews Check latest price
  • Easily turn your organic waste into fertile worm castings for your plants and garden with no odor.
  • Feed through top and collect castings from bottom. No separating worms from trays. It's that simple.
  • Breathable 900D oxford fabric construction. Keep bottom zipper open or closed to control moisture.
  • Worms stay happy and reproducing with continuous flow design. No need to disturb them during harvest.
  • Assemble and begin using in less than 5 minute without tools, glue, or confusing instructions.

User questions & answers

Question: where is this manufactured
Answer: When the worms are finished compostiing one tray, add a tray on top of that with fresh bedding and food. Wait a few weeks and the worms should all move up. Wait an additional couple months if you want to allow the cocoons to all hatch and the baby worms to move up also. This is why the buns are designed with multiple trays. The worms will naturally follow the food up. Red wigglers are surface feeders and wont dive deep for food.
Question: Question for the seller- would the worms do ok in a non-air-conditioned Florida garage? It gets very hot. Thanks
Answer: Do you eat a lot of fresh fruits & vegetables daily and have lots of trimmings for the worms ? And / Or size of your family ?
Question: Will worm castings sold in a bag work for "starting with vermicomopost"? How much does starting with vermicompost speed up the process
Answer: Yes you can. The soil will help to add some grit & microbiology to the bedding. And once the roots begin to break down, they will serve as food for the worms.
Question: Rat, raccoon and coyote-proof
Answer: I would try looking in the plumbing section of your local hardware store to see if they may carry a metal or plastic spigot with a diameter the same size as the one you need to replace. Thinking they will have something similar since it is probably a standard size part. It just needs to be the same size as the hole drilled into the water collection section of the bin with a matching rubber washer and nut.

The Urban Worm Bag Version 2

Welcome to the new gold standard in home vermicomposting. The Urban Worm Bag Version 2 turns your household waste into worm castings, a microbe-rich organic soil amendment used in gardening and indoor growing.

What is Continuous Flow?

Composting worms tend to stay in the top 6-8 inches of their habitat.

So as you add layers of fresh household waste like food scraps, the worms will move higher, leaving their castings below.

So after 4-6 months, you can harvest worm-free castings without disturbing the ecosystem of worms and microbes that are hard at work at the top of the Urban Worm Bag.

Is Worm Composting Easy?

Yes! If you keep the temperature between 55-95°F, keep moisture to a level where the Urban Worm Bag is not producing leachate, and keep good levels of carbon-rich bedding like paper waste, you are likely to have a thriving worm bin.

Lots of people overthink it. But your bin will benefit by being fed and otherwise left alone!

This Is Not Ikea Furniture!

Your Urban Worm Bag will be assembled in less than 5 minutes.

  • Build the base
  • Insert the vertical supports
  • Insert the supports into the Urban Worm Bag
  • Press it all together

You're done.

Learn What to Feed!

Worms will generally eat any non-meat, non-dairy organic waste. But it's helpful to know what foods they love, what foods they don't and what foods you should only add small amounts of.

Keep Your Bedding Levels High

Worms love food waste, but they also need high amounts of carbon-rich waste like shredded paper and cardboard which are abundant in most homes! Lots of bedding will ensure:

  • good moisture control
  • controlled, good smelling decomposition
  • a neutral pH

Keep It On a Level Surface

The Urban Worm Bag has new, reinforced connectors but it's important that the frame rests on a flat, level surface.

So. Many. Benefits.

Worm castings are 15x more valuable than compost, thanks to increased plants growth and yield, less water use, protection against pests and pathogens, faster germination, and huge biodiversity inside the bin.

Worm castings require no curing and can be used on your plants immediately.

Raise Them Right!

Our youth can lead the way to a sustainable future. And a home worm farm can excite your kids about worm composting and they'll be thrilled to see last night's dinner waste get eaten by their worms.

It's like having pets that do work for you!

Complete the Cycle

Even in urban environments, you can complete the Soil Food Web cycle. Recycle the food scraps generated by food preparation and turn that waste into food for your soil.

User questions & answers

Question: How much compost do you get and how often
Answer: Each tray is 17"x17"x5". The volume is the same as the ones in the market such as the worm factory and the original VermiHut. When all 5 trays are stacked, it is about 33" including the base. We make the VermiHut Plus tray wider and little bit shorter so that it has less pressure and more area for air-flow. The VermiHut Plus design is an improvement compared to the original VermiHut and the Worm Factory.
Question: If I transfer my old compost - with earthworms - into this and add red Wigglers, will they coexist? Or will it be wormy genocide
Answer: Hi Agustin, Sorry, I do not have the 1979 F-150 in all red. Cyberzingo LLC
Question: How does the Hungry Bin keep everything from falling out of the bottom when you take off the tray
Answer: Yes
Question: Does anyone know how this hungry bin compares to the worm inn made from breathable fabric
Answer: No, front wheels do not rotate. It is actually difficult to even reach the steering wheel through the open driver’s door. This truck is really just suitable for display only and not meant as a young child’s toy.

User questions & answers

Question: what is the best mixture of scraps to put in the composter to start the first batch in a brand new yimby tumbler composter
Answer: Yes it does. It does not come with a mat.
Question: Any tips for winter usage, once temperatures cause the compost to freeze
Answer: Yes, if you print a cake on a shirt and make decorations for it then you could use it for cake decorating purposes
Question: do you have to put it together and is it difficult we are not good at assembly
Answer: I use a teflon sheet and no you don't have to press too hard. I used to use my iron and this thing is AAAAAmazing!!! Time and heat control... no more guessing or over heating.
Question: Is it bear proof
Answer: Your iron may be greatly superior to mine...But the advantages that this heat press has over my iron are these: 1) I'm able set the exact temperature I need. (I didn't realize what a difference this would make!) 2) The heat press is HEAVY. I want a lightweight iron for ironing clothes, but want pressure (which weight provides) for heat transfer designs. 3) This heat press has a timer. I've been amazed how much better my work turns out when I'm a little more careful about the timing. These are the three major advantages I've found in using a heat press over my iron. To be truthful, any heat press probably delivers these. But the smaller, more compact size (even with the largest, the 12 x 10--which I purchased), and hence, easier storage when not in use...is what tipped the scales for me when choosing the Cricut over the other brands of heat presses. Hope this helps your decision-making!

    Product description

    The All Seasons Indoor Composter kit is a unique, in-house system used to recycle kitchen scraps into an organic compost soil conditioner. The most effective method of fermenting is through anaerobic (without oxygen) fermentation. This process prepares the scraps for burial in less than half the time of conventional composting methods without any unpleasant odors. This system ferments and pickles your food waste in less than half the time of conventional composting methods without odors. The All Seasons Indoor Composter includes two unique features, the strainer and spigot, allowing the moisture released by the scraps of food waste to be drained out to prevent spoilage. This liquid can be used as a fertilizer for household plants (1:100 dilutions) or to clean your kitchen and bathroom drains (undiluted). The air-tight lid, which ensures anaerobic fermentation, must be pressed down firmly after each use. The lid is made of high quality plastic that is also flexible and may not lie flat. This warping will not affect the efficacy of the air tight lid. The All Seasons Indoor Composter kit can be easily implemented in an indoor environment making it useful for apartment, school, household, restaurant, business or wilderness use. Each composting kit comes with complete instructions and a bag of All Seasons Bokashi. The All Seasons Indoor Composter, used in conjunction with All Seasons Bokashi, provides the ideal conditions to activate anaerobic fermentation that accelerates the composting process, while eliminating odors and deterring pests.

    • EASILY LOWER YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. Recycling would-be food waste into compost is a clear action you can take for a healthier planet. With both a 5-gallon compost container and Bokashi compost starter, our simple kit is ready-to-use and all you need to start composting in your kitchen or even on your countertop: no assembly required.
    • KICKSTART COMPOSTING. Unlike other kitchen countertop compost bins, the All Seasons Indoor Composter is more than a food scrap container: start the composting process immediately using the microbial power of All Seasons Bokashi to ferment your food waste after every meal, before transferring to your outdoor compost bin, garden soil, or curbside pick-up.
    • LOW ODOR INDOOR COMPOST BIN. This all-in-one Bokashi composting kit uses beneficial microbes to ferment your food waste without stinky putrefaction or flies. Our compost bucket’s kitchen-friendly design features a lid that locks tightly for easy, airtight fermentation. The compost bucket is made from high-quality, recycled plastic that won’t weaken during the decomposing process or leach harmful chemicals into your compost.
    • REDUCE YOUR TRIPS TO THE OUTDOOR COMPOSTER. Trudging out to your outdoor compost bin after every meal in the dead of winter isn’t fun—plus decomposition slows down naturally outside in freezing cold weather so there’s no guarantee you’ll have compost ready for spring planting. By fermenting your food scraps inside using our compost container, you stay warm, save time and energy, and speed up your composting process. It truly makes it easy to compost.
    • NURTURE YOUR PLANT BABIES WITH EASY-TO-ACCESS COMPOST TEA. Compost tea is a powerful plant fertilizer, but making it outdoors is a messy, time-intensive process. Our compost bin’s design features a built-in spigot that makes accessing nutrient-rich compost tea quick and easy. Simply drain, dilute, and use to nurture your house plants. Plus bokashi composting loses fewer nutrients than traditional composting methods, making both your compost and compost tea an even richer source of garden gold.

    User questions & answers

    Question: how much bokashi is included
    Answer: It included two bags, and we use it very sparingly and I'm still in the first amazing. AMAZING flower growth when used with 1 TBS. Bokashi team to one gallon of water.
    Question: Anyone have a recipe for the mix
    Answer: Type "How to Make Bokashi" in a youtube search. "Podchef" Neil Foley has a good demonstration.
    Question: can i put worms in it
    Answer: I have worms in my compost barrel but I never put worms in my K100 bucket since the food only stays in there 30 days then I transfer to my compost barrel and it really gets hot in there and worms do not like it too hot- will kill them but hey, I never tried it.
    Question: Is burying the compost in a yard to fully decompose really necessary? We do not have a yard. I was going to give it away or sprinkle it on some common green areas by our apartment
    Answer: I have done 3 buckets of comt using SCD probiotics K100 and all I got was mold. I reverting back to using my compost barrel...no mold in there and breaks down better. I really do not think the probiotics breaks down the meat/cheese so I am no longer using them and trust me I set up my system by the book. waste of money

    Perfect Indoor Composter for the Eco-Minded

    COMPOST ANYTHING INDOORS. Unlike other kitchen countertop compost bins, the All Seasons Indoor Composter is more than a container to collect food scraps: you can compost directly in our kitchen compost bucket using the microbial power of All Seasons Bokashi to ferment your food waste after every meal. It’s easy to recycle any kind of food—even small bones, meat, dairy, and paper.

    NURTURE YOUR PLANT BABIES WITH EASY-TO-ACCESS COMPOST TEA. Compost tea is a powerful plant fertilizer, but making it outdoors is a messy, time-intensive process. Our compost bucket’s design features a built-in spigot that makes accessing nutrient-rich compost tea quick and easy. Simply drain, dilute, and use to nurture your house plants.

    QUALITY MATERIALS AND PARTS. Our compost buckets and components are made with the highest quality, BPA-free plastic. And the black compost bin is made from 75% recycled soda bottles. We provide replacement parts to keep your bucket working for as long as possible.

    Step 1

    To get started, you will need the All Seasons Indoor Composting Kit. Place it under your sink, or a convenient location in your kitchen.

    Step 2

    Before you add food scraps, chop everything into small pieces. This allows for greater surface area for the microbes to feast on. You can add (small) bones, cheese, coffee grounds and meat as well as all fruits and vegetables. Add food scraps to the bucket, in layer (up to 3").

    Step 3

    Dust each layer with a generous handful of Bokashi. When putting in meat, bones, cheese, coffee grounds or other hard to compost materials, use more All Seasons Bokashi than

    normal.

    Step 4

    Close lid tighly. Repeat steps 2 - 3 each time food scraps are added and All Seasons Indoor Composter is full.

    Step 5

    Drain the compost 'tea' every 2-3 days or as needed.Dilute the 'tea' (one Tbsp / gallon of water). Use immediately on indoor plants or outside in the garden.

    Your Compost Bin is Full, Now What?

    Dig-in Method. Transfer the material directly into your garden for complete break-down. Dig a trench or hole approximately 6"-12” deep. Mix the food scraps with soil as you add it to the trench. Cover the compost completely with soil to assure further decomposition and to prevent unwanted critters. Wait two weeks before planting to avoid root burn.

    Container Planter Method. Transfer material directly into a planter or container. Fill 1/3 of container with potting soil. Add compost and lightly mix with soil. Finally, fill the remaining 1/3 of the container with potting soil. (Optional: cover with a plastic bag to maintain anaerobic conditions.) Wait two weeks before planting.

    Outdoor Compost Bin. Add the food scraps from your All Seasons Indoor Composter directly into the compost pile in your backyard or community garden. Turn as normal and apply a heavy dose of All Seasons Bokashi, if needed.

    Compost Pickup Program. Check for local organizations who offer compost pickup.
