The kick-start bottle is an empty high grade plastic bottle which can be used to help boost the hot composting bacteria’s rate of heat generation within the HOTBIN.

The bottle is most affective when the bin’s internal temperature is less than 15°C so when starting the HOTBIN for the first time or having returned from holiday and the internal temperature has dropped. If the HOTBIN’s internal temperature is above 15°C, you are best to raise the temperature by the types, quantities and frequency of waste being added rather than using the kick-start bottle.

For instructions please refer to the directions on the bottle's side.

DO NOT use other bottles than the one provided as this could cause injury. When handling the bottle with boiling water use extreme care and cover your hands.

Don’t bin it, HOTBIN IT!

HOTBIN composting makes sustainable living that little bit easier, it’s rapid, hassle-free, helps reduce waste and promotes a healthier, greener planet!

BEFORE HOTBIN:

  • Waste takes a long time to break down, often a year or more.
     
  • Unable to successfully compost, weeds/seeds or any cooked food scraps
     
  • Wondering, I want to compost, but it’s too complex and labour intensive
     
  • Concerns over pests and vermin due to open nature of cold heaps
     
  • Compostable waste ends up going to landfill or incineration 
 

AFTER HOTBIN:

  • HOTBIN works all year round and at 40-60°C waste breaks down rapidly, typically in 90 days
     
  • You can compost more, including weeds, cooked food leftovers and even small bones
     
  • Easy entry to home composting, no heavy turning or tumbling required and it's peat free.
     
  • Due to HOTBIN's sealed design and odour filter  pests/vermin are minimised. 
     
  • Most, if not all organic household is diverted away from landfill
