Hi Stephen,

Composting bins are a good idea, you can add organic material such as kitchen or garden waste. This will reduce the amount going into your normal bin. However like any bin containing kitchen waste ( Food), your compost bin can attract Rats, Mice, Cats, Flies if you leave the lid of your bin open, just make sure once you have finished putting stuff inside the bin you close the lid and you should not have a problem. Once your bin has been emptied you should give it a quick wash out with your garden hose to keep it clean.

I hope this has helped, if you have any more questions feel free to contact us.
