Do you want to make your own compost bin? Do you want to start composting but don’t want to buy an expensive composter? This DIY compost bin is so easy to make and costs less than $20.<\/p>\n

It’s free if you have an old trash can that you don’t need anymore. Not only is it inexpensive, it takes less than 30\u00a0 minutes to put together. This DIY compost bin was so easy, my kids were able to make it while I was on bedrest with our youngest daughter.<\/p>\n

I was tired of the amount of food waste we had each week and wanted to compost our kitchen scraps to reduce our waste<\/a>. Since I was on bed rest, I had to rely on my trusty helpers to accomplish this project. New compost bins are expensive why not make our own?<\/p>\n

Even the inexpensive bins<\/a> were $90! After doing some research I realized that a compost bin was basically a cylinder with air holes that could be rolled or “tumbled.”<\/p>\n

A trash can would be the perfect inexpensive DIY compost bin! It has a lid, you can drill holes in it, and the kids can easily roll it around the yard.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I used to make our compost bin.<\/p>\n
