  • The Worm Factory 360 has a standard 4-Tray size which is expandable up to 8 trays, giving it the largest volume of any home composter.

  • The accessory kit provides basic tools to make managing the Worm Factory 360 easier.
  • Built in “worm tea” collector tray and spigot for easy draining.

Composting with worms allows you to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich soil for your plants. The Worm Factory 360 composting system makes the entire process quick and easy. With a thermo siphon air flow design, the Worm Factory 360 increases the composting speed. Now you can produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. Master Gardeners agree, worm castings are one of the richest forms of fertilizer that you can use. The Worm Factory 360 can be used indoors or outdoors allowing year round production. Now composting is no longer limited to backyards. The Worm Factory 360 is odorless making it great for apartments, kitchens, garages, porches and more. Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient-rich compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system, taking nutrient-rich particles with it. This makes it possible to harvest organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot. 20 year warranty.

Welcome to the City of Hamilton Central Composting Facility operated by Aim Environmental Group. This facility was designed to process 60000 tons of source separated organic material per year by incorporating some of the worlds most innovative composting technologies. The design team at Maple Reinders, Aim Environmental Group and our partners at van Kaathoven Group and Christiaens Group collaborated to bring the finest in European, in-vessel tunnel technology to produce a system known for rapid decomposition of organic feedstock and the production of Ontarios highest grade compost. The material that is brought to our facility is inspected before being loaded into a shredder. The material is conveyed under a cross belt magnet to remove any metal contaminants before it is loaded into one of the ten Phase 1 tunnels. The shredded waste is distributed in uniform layers over the tunnel, which is equipped with a heating system, an aerated floor and a sprinkler system to nourish the microorganisms responsible for decomposing the organic matter. It will remain in the Phase 1 tunnel for 10-14 days. The material is then moved to one of six Phase 2 tunnels, where the material is further broken down and pasteurized in order to meet strict regulations. This second phase takes 7 to 10 days, and after cooling, the material is ready to be screened. The highly efficient screening plant is able to extract plastics, stones and other ferrous material from the compost in one pass. It also

BioBag MaxAir Composting Bucket II Boxes (Pack of 2)

BioBag MaxAir Composting Bucket II Boxes (Pack of 2)

51Ar%2BJ2HatL. SL160  BioBag MaxAir Composting Bucket II Boxes (Pack of 2)

  • Contains no polyethylene
  • 100 percent compostable
  • 100 percent biodegradable
  • Ideal to be placed under kitchen sink

If you want fresh food waste for your backyard compost and an odor-free kitchen, try using our BioBag 3 gallon waste bags with our ventilated max air food waste bucket. Kitchen food waste can build up bacterial odor quickly when collected in a solid plastic or ceramic pail. The reason is food waste creates heat and moisture that cannot escape when placed in these closed containers. Many modern collection pails contain charcoal filters or other devices to help mask the odor, but do little to slow the rotting process. The Max air buckets are ventilated on all sides, including the top and bottom. The Max air buckets are attractive for countertop placement and are also hinged if you wish to hang the bucket inside the door of your kitchen sink. BioBags breathe naturally, allowing heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This process allows food waste to dry, thus reducing the rate of bacterial build-up which causes odor. When BioBags are used with the Max Air, the consumer has the ultimate system for food waste collection.
