Inverting the contents.
The box type bins I've seen have an opening at the base you can shovel
the bottommost compost out of - slide straight in, pull out (think
pizza oven). *if you really needed to rotate the compost in a bin, you
could shovel about a third out from the bottom and drop it on top, and
a week or two later, repeat the effort. *This doesn't do a complete
inversion, but is reasonable. *There is no need to relocate the bin.
***That was the case with my former composter; had an opening at the
base. The one I am now decommissioning does not, so I call it a poor
design.
