Review: Simple, sturdy design works well - We are very happy with the Algreen Compost Bin. We have gone through many types of compost bins over the years and this one works well, is a simple, sturdy design, and is priced well in comparison to others. Easy to put together and easy to use with a locking top to keep out critters. Doesn't take up a huge amount of space and yet holds a lot. We used the Algreen Compost Bin for a couple years and recently bought another one to place beside it. It is plenty big to fill with kitchen compost, leaves, twigs, garden refuse, etc. We intend to use one bin for summer compost and one for winter compost - which would allow the compost in each bin to break down over time. Our summer bin is not sitting in full sun all day, and yet the compost seemed to break down very well after several months to a year. We emptied it last spring and were excited that the compost (including corn cobs, apple cores, watermelon rind) was very well broken down into wonderful airy soil! This, from a bin that was in partial shade each day. We just added another raised vegetable bed and are looking forward to using both bins. I keep a little pile of mowed grass and dirt next to the bins to throw on the compost whenever I add something from the kitchen. This seems to keep the fruit flies away. We stick a garden fork in the bin from time to time and stir. It is a little difficult to get the compost out of the bottom of this bin from one side. It has two doors intended for access from either side. But, because we placed our compost bins next to each other, we decided to place the access panels on the side and on the front of each bin. Review: Well constructed bin, latching lid is a nice feature - This composter with latching lid is really great for kitchen scraps, especially if you live in an area where critters could get into your compost. I imagine it's also a good solution for people in more urban environments, because it will make your compost tidy and not unsightly. I would need about 5 of these to handle to fall leaves, so I opted for a cheaper alternative for leaf litter and use this for kitchen scraps. I've not had a critter problem. I think if you're an urban gardener, this is your best bet for a composter. It's also super easy to set up, and you have the option of putting the two bottom sliding doors adjacent to each other or on opposite sides. I recommend this bin for its ease to set up, acceptable aesthetic, and solid construction. Now for the compost PSA part of my review. The only issue I've had, and this is not so much a this-specific-compost-bin problem as it is a general-compost-and-being-outside problem, is wasps. One time there were about 50 yellow jackets eating tomatoes I threw in this bin. I'm very, very allergic, so I immediately high-tailed it back to the house (seriously, I could probably have outrun Usain Bolt in that instant). They were gone by the next day. In a year's worth of use, this was the only time I'd ever seen a wasp in any of my compost piles/bins. Googling has revealed that occasionally happens with compost, regardless of bin type. The problem was that I unlatched both sides of the lid, lifted it off, and set it on the ground before noticing the death trap I had just opened. I'm going to keep using this compost bin, but I may leave the lid off during the summer months. That way, if there are wasps eating my scraps, I can see them before sticking my hands over them. Moral of the story: be careful. A different bin won't remove the possibility of stinging insects. It's outside, and you're probably putting food/garden scraps in it. Wasps have to eat, too. If you need a lid, then get a bin with a lid. This one is a great choice and I recommend it. If you have kids, an adult should remove the lid first, especially because this bin is approximately eye level for kids. You don't know what's in there (though laying down 1/4" hardware cloth at the base of the bin would keep things from tunneling up into the bin without removing the draining effect of an open bottom). If you don't have a critter problem or neighbors who can see your yard, consider leaving the lid off on days when you'll be around it extensively. That way you can quickly see, from a distance, if a whole nest of yellow jackets suddenly decides to feast on your scraps. ## Features - NAMED β€œBEST STATIONARY COMPOSTER” BY BETTER HOMES & GARDENS, 2025 - Turn kitchen scraps, yard trimmings, and garden waste into nutrient-rich compost in as little as 6–8 weeks with a durable 94-gallon stationary compost bin built for backyard use - LARGE 94-GALLON / 12 CU.

I'm still able to lock it in place, but it takes a bit of finagling. However there has been no defect in the plastic. This thing is huge, and even after a year's worth of use, I've only got it filled up at most 1/3 of the way full. This is good and bad. The good is that there must be definitely composting going on: despite a year's worth of veggie scraps and leaves and such being dumped into this giant composter weekly, it hasn't gotten very full at all. But that means the top 4-5 inches of the compost pile is really not usable compost. If I try to turn it over, I get just a mess of fresh and old stuff. So I'm going to have to just let it go another year before I have access to compost. I'll do another update in 2022 **** Original review **** I took the advise of some of the other reviewers and bought some zinc coated metal carriage bolts and nuts to replace the plastic ones that accompanied this compost kit. It didn't take too long to put this together (once I had the pieces I needed, see below). The instructions are pretty simple, like Duplos for adults. The plastic is thick and sturdy, and once assembled, it doesn't wobble or feel unsteady. The lid locks on easily. The best thing is that the plastic pieces have no odor. A couple bad things: My kit I received was missing a piece for the handle. I sent an email to their customer service, which I found on their website, and I got a replacement part overnighted from Canada at no charge to me. Great customer service. The main reason for 4 stars is that some of the pieces were not a great precision fit. The mold for the plastic could use more tighter tolerances as the pieces that make up the locking device for the lid did not fit and snap into place as they were designed to do, and required me to actually grind down some of the pieces on my belt sander in order for it to fit correctly. I know that not everybody has a belt sander or other tools at their disposal to modify things, and for those folks, the locking feature of the lid would not have worked. Perhaps an email to the company may have been all I needed to get more additional replacement parts, but if they're all made on the same mold with the loose tolerances, the replacement pieces probably wouldn't have fit either and my predicament would have remained unchanged. Just a minor annoyance, but something that shouldn't occur when you're charged a ridiculous amount of money for pieces of recycled plastic. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/1133874-algreen-products-soil-saver-classic-compost-bin](https://www.desertcart.co/products/1133874-algreen-products-soil-saver-classic-compost-bin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
