#MadeInSXM – An Upcycled Compost Tumbler

The team behind Macro Micros have created an upcycled compost tumbler that can handle a large variety of waste. This is perfect for those who want to compost more than the typical household compost tumbler allows. The rugged construction would work great for community composting! The next step up would be aerated static pile compost, which requires significantly more space, time, and investment.

Their clever design is stacked, allowing compost to be added to the top tumbler, then moved to the bottom tumbler for maturing. The steel drum is rodent resistant, and holds enough volume to reach thermophilic phase composting.
