What is an electric composter?

An electric composter is a self-contained, energy-efficient unit that can make compost quickly during any time of the year. Scraps are placed in the unit, where they are heated and aerated for fast decomposition. Some units have a dual-chamber design that allows more debris to be added later.

An electric composter transforms kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost. These useful home devices can be conveniently placed in a mud room, in a cellar or outdoors on a deck. Users can place debris, including food scraps such as fruits, vegetables, eggshells, dairy, meat, coffee grounds and grains, in the top chamber. The device automatically heats and aerates the contents to produce rich compost in as little as a few weeks.
