Hi,

I am considering the offer of compost bins from the local council - 330l
for
£16-00 (£4 delivery charge) and am trying to calculate:

(a) how many I would need to process lawn mowings
(b) would I have room for them :-)

I know that one mowing from the lawn will fill the brown wheelie bin from
the council.
[As this is only emptied once every two weeks this is not a solution for
recycling grass during spring and summer.]

So if I knew how much a brown wheelie bin held I could calculate how long
it
would take to fill a compost bin.

I realise that once composting starts and some of the moisture and air gap
is lost then the volume will reduce, but this will take a little time and
I
will probably be mowing at least once a week for the next few months.

I have tried to Google the answer, but no luck.

The bin itself has all sorts of markings, including a decibel rating (!)
but
AFAIKS no volume.

Post the internal dimensions of the wheely bin and I'll tell you the volume.
