Build Your
Own Bin
Building a bin of your own can be fun and gives you more control
over how it looks and what it is made of.
Use Green Building Materials
Salvaged materials - Remember to adjust measurements on older
lumber as it is sometimes larger than modern planed lumber.
Recycled plastic - You may need to use thicker plastic lumber
than wood as it is usually more flexible. Adjust measurements
accordingly.
Non-toxic wood sealants and treatments - Avoid pressure treated
lumber as these can leach poisons into the compost. See the Composting
Resources section for sources of alternative sealants, or
use linseed oil with mineral spirits.
