HOTBIN Mega (700L)
The HOTBIN Mega (700L) is the largest composting system in the HOTBIN range, designed for large gardens, allotments, smallholdings, community gardens and anyone generating substantial amounts of organic waste. With an impressive 700-litre capacity, this premium hot composting system makes it easy to recycle large volumes of kitchen and garden waste while producing rich, nutrient-packed compost in as little as 30–90 days.
Whether you're maintaining extensive borders, managing an allotment, caring for livestock or simply looking for a high-capacity composting solution, the HOTBIN Mega (700L) delivers exceptional performance all year round.
Unlike traditional compost bins, the HOTBIN Mega uses advanced insulated construction to retain the natural heat generated by composting bacteria. This allows temperatures to reach 40–60°C, dramatically accelerating decomposition without the need for electricity, compost activators or chemical additives. The result is premium-quality compost in a fraction of the time compared to conventional composting methods.
Its fully enclosed, insulated design allows you to compost almost all kitchen and garden waste, including cooked food, meat, fish, dairy, weeds and even pet waste (once the bin is operating above 40°C). The sealed construction also helps minimise odours while discouraging flies and pests, making composting cleaner, tidier and more convenient.
Supplied fully assembled and ready to use, the HOTBIN Mega includes everything you need to start composting immediately, including thermometers, aeration valve, odour filter, kick-start bottle, raking stick and user guide.

Why Invest in a HOTBIN Mega?
A standard compost bin is often little more than a plastic container. It relies on the weather, takes up valuable garden space, and can leave you waiting one to two years for usable compost. If you generate large amounts of garden waste, you'll often need several compost bins just to keep up.
The HOTBIN Mega (700L) changes everything.
Designed as a premium hot composting system, it creates the perfect environment for naturally occurring bacteria to thrive. Its insulated construction retains the heat generated during composting, allowing temperatures to reach 40–60°Cand dramatically speeding up the composting process. The result is rich, healthy compost in as little as 30–90 days—without electricity, chemicals or compost accelerators.
With its enormous 700-litre capacity, this is the ideal solution for anyone producing significant quantities of garden and kitchen waste throughout the year. Whether you're mowing large lawns, pruning mature shrubs, clearing vegetable beds or maintaining an allotment, the HOTBIN Mega has the capacity to keep up with even the busiest gardener.
Compost More. Waste Less.
Unlike traditional compost bins that limit what you can compost, the HOTBIN Mega accepts almost everything your household and garden produce, including:
- Fruit and vegetable waste
- Cooked leftovers
- Meat and fish
- Dairy products
- Tea bags and coffee grounds
- Grass cuttings and hedge trimmings
- Garden prunings
- Weeds
- Pet waste (once the HOTBIN is operating above 40°C)
That means less waste going to landfill, fewer trips to the recycling centre and a continuous supply of rich, homemade compost for your garden.
Less Work. Better Results.
Forget turning huge compost heaps or managing multiple compost bins.
The HOTBIN Mega is designed to make composting effortless. Simply add your kitchen and garden waste, mix in the recommended paper and bulking agent, give the top layer a quick mix, and let nature do the rest. The enclosed design reduces odours, discourages pests and delivers outstanding compost with minimal effort.
For gardeners and growers producing substantial amounts of compostable material, the HOTBIN Mega offers a practical, time-saving solution that works every day of the year.
