Simply scatter the remnants of the bin under trees or shrubs in an out-of-the-way area of the property. Nature will take care of the rest. Dismantle and recycle the bins or donate to a gardening neighbor or community garden. Smooth out the area where the old compost pile(s) and garden once stood.
How do you get rid of compost?
The best way is:
- Remove the lid from the compost bin and tilt or wiggle the bin to loosen compost from all the sides.
- Like removing a cake from a baking tray, gently lift the bin upwards, leaving a perfectly formed compost pile.
- You will see the layers of 'ready' compost and that which needs longer in the system.
