The Green Cone. What a great Idea!!

We have no green cart recycle here. I put two of these in and use them all year round. Amazing stuff. The racoons and the odd bear don't even bother them.

The Green Cone is an integral part of dealing with your household waste.

It is a completely natural system that reduces your food waste to its natural components of water, carbon dioxide and a small residue. This solar-heated unit takes ALL cooked and uncooked food waste including meat, fish, bones, dairy products, vegetables and fruit. The only exceptions are bulk amounts of food related materials that require a very long time to breakdown, namely: cooking oil/fat and the hard shells of nuts and seafood, such as oysters and crabs. Put all your food waste into your Green Cone, situated in a sunny part of your garden, and forget about it - almost everything disappears!

The Benefits
Waste food can be disposed of cleanly and quickly,
before it becomes smelly. With no food waste in your
garbage bags your other waste is drier and lighter.
Safe for you, your pets and your plants. It's easy to
set up and maintain. Saves up to 33% of household
waste having to be collected.

The Green Cone Difference
Traditional home composting is an excellent way of
recycling garden waste back into the soil. However,
unlike a Green Cone, a garden composter is not
suitable for recycling many types of food waste,
including cooked vegetables, pasta, meat, bones,
dairy products and also pet feces. The Green Cone has
been designed to break down these materials in a safe
way. The waste is digested rather than composted and
is primarily reduced to water. This nutrient rich water
enters the soil under the base of the digestion unit.
Very little waste residue is produced by a well operating
Green Cone and you do not need to turn the waste.

Maintenance
Your Green Cone needs very little maintenance. It is
important to ensure that the top of the basket and the
bottom lip of the outer green cone are below ground
level and always fully covered with soil. In a well
operating Green Cone very little waste residue will be
produced. Should the residue build-up to ground
level and not decrease, the cones can be removed to
access the basket. The residue can be dug into any
suitable area of groun

Q: How much waste can I put in my Green Cone?
Provided your Green Cone has been correctly installed,
three-quarters to one kilogram of food waste can be
disposed of in your Green Cone each day. This amount
is typical of that produced by a family of four. The
precise quantity of waste digested by your Green Cone
each day will depend upon the ambient temperature,
the population of bacteria, and the mix of food waste
you produce.

Q: Will my Green Cone work all year round?
Yes. Your Green Cone works 365 days a year.
The level of food waste may rise during winter
but should drop down when the weather gets
warmer. If it slows during very cold periods use the
natural Green Cone accelerator powder.

Q: Does the Green Cone attract vermin?
If correctly installed, your Green Cone will not attract
vermin. By ensuring that the top of the black basket
and the bottom lip of the green outer cone are below
ground level any smells will be filtered out by the
surrounding soil. It is also important not to spill food
