HOTBIN Mini (100L) with Plinth

Take your home composting to the next level with the HOTBIN Mini (100L) with Plinth. Combining the award-winning HOTBIN Mini with a specially designed plinth, this premium hot composting system makes producing nutrient-rich compost faster, cleaner and even more convenient.

Perfect for 1–2 person households, the HOTBIN Mini transforms everyday kitchen and garden waste into rich compost in as little as 30–90 days, while the raised plinth improves access to the collection point, making it even easier to harvest compost and collect valuable liquid fertiliser.

Unlike traditional compost bins, the HOTBIN Mini uses advanced insulated construction to retain the natural heat generated by composting bacteria. This allows the composting process to reach temperatures of 40–60°C, dramatically accelerating decomposition without the need for electricity, compost activators or chemical additives.

Its fully enclosed, insulated design means you can 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). At the same time, the sealed construction helps minimise odours and discourages flies and pests.

The included HOTBIN Plinth raises the composter to a comfortable working height, making it easier to access the drainage tap for collecting nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser and simplifying compost harvesting. It also improves stability on firm, level surfaces, making day-to-day use even more convenient.

Supplied fully assembled and ready to use, the HOTBIN Mini includes everything you need to get started, including dual thermometers, aeration valve, odour filter, kick-start bottle, raking stick and user guide.

Why Invest in a HOTBIN Mini with Plinth?

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. Many struggle through the winter, require regular turning, and won't safely compost cooked food, meat or dairy.

The HOTBIN Mini with Plinth is designed for gardeners who want a faster, cleaner and more convenient way to compost.

Its advanced insulated construction creates the ideal environment for naturally occurring bacteria to thrive, producing temperatures of 40–60°C that dramatically speed up the composting process. The result is rich, healthy compost in as little as 30–90 days—without electricity, chemicals or compost accelerators.

Adding the HOTBIN Plinth makes everyday use even easier by raising the unit, allowing more comfortable access to the collection point for both compost and nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser. It's a simple addition that makes a big difference, especially if you'll be using your HOTBIN regularly throughout the year.

Compost More. Waste Less.

With a traditional compost bin you're often limited to fruit and vegetable peelings, while cooked food and other kitchen waste ends up in your household rubbish.

The HOTBIN Mini allows you to compost far more, including:

• Fruit and vegetable waste
• Cooked leftovers
• Meat and fish
• Dairy products
• Tea bags and coffee grounds
• Grass cuttings and garden waste
• Weeds
• Pet waste (once the HOTBIN is operating above 40°C)

That means less waste going to landfill and more nutrient-rich compost feeding your garden.

Less Work. Better Results.

Forget turning heavy compost heaps every few weeks.

Simply add your kitchen and garden waste, mix in the recommended paper and bulking agent, and let the HOTBIN do the rest. The enclosed design reduces odours, discourages pests and keeps composting neat, clean and effortless throughout the year.

Built to Last

Manufactured from durable ARPRO® Expanded Polypropylene (EPP), the HOTBIN Mini is engineered for years of reliable outdoor use. Every unit is supplied fully assembled and backed by a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee, giving you complete confidence in your investment. With normal care, the manufacturer expects the HOTBIN to provide 10–20 years of dependable service.
