A location that is conducive to controlled moisture and partial sunlight, comfortable for safe monitoring and viewing, and convenient for use is where a compost bin should be put.
Specifically, a compost bin has to be in partial sunlight and near water sources -- such as garden hoses -- in order to comply with internal air, heat and moisture levels. It must be located in a place where it will not offend its operators or visitors with occasionally unattractive odors and sights. It needs to comply with its operators requirements for safe access and sure protection from inquisitive birds and mammals.

The container in question must not be in direct sunlight since the process of composting generates temperatures from 55 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (12.78 to 73 degrees Celsius). Its placement needs to be supportive of check-ups on air, heat and moisture levels through supplemental watering and weekly turning and of drop-offs of activators, compostables and starters.

∙ 7y agoAccessible to check-ups and drop-offs, away from direct sunlight and out of the way of rainfall, traffic, wildlife and winds is the location to keep compost bins. Compost bins must be protected from exterior heat and light sources since decomposition of carbon-rich recyclables generates heat. They need to be aerated through bottom, side and top openings but protected from extreme weather and foraging animals.
