With separator for urine. Personally I DO NOT recommend these. As they have discovered people end up putting saw dust down in the urinal bit and kids poo in it. This has leed them to go around adding sawdust themselves, A LOT more work.
At Wowo campsite, which has got to be one of the loveliest campsites anywhere.

I am now reaping what I have sown from the time I was lazy and added material to the top tray in our worm composter without adequately covering it. Bean sprouts!
First year students learned right away that sustainability is important at OSU, as they were guided to compost and recycling stations. Date: Sept. 26, 2013 (photo: Theresa Hogue)
These machines are used to bag the finished compost, which is marketed as LeafGro. The bags are between 40 and 60 pounds, depending on the size needed by customers.

For a brief period, the sun came out so Stu got out the lawn mower and hooked up the hauler and brought some compost to the back garden in the backyard. That hauler has been so great. He was using a wheelbarrow before and that was heavy.
The composter came from Staten Island, and I think it was just $20. It took about 20 minutes to put it together.
This will be our first time composting without worms.
Tubs (15x22x11 inches) have one drain hole and are tilted to drip into the lower pans.
Each tub contains a couple inches of shredded paper and cardboard on the bottom, compost-able materials (vegetable and other plant scraps, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, dead tree leaves, aged horse manure, a little dirt, more shredded paper and a bit of saw dust) in the middle with about 1/2 pound of composting red worms and another layer of shredded paper for the top layer. Covering with sheets of newspaper seems to cut down on the flying insects.
Each tub weighs 45-70 pounds and will sit untouched for about 4 months. Tops are left open for easy humidity and airflow control. Clear tubs allow for enjoyable viewing :)
The three bin composting system provides a space to store browns (carbon rich materials) and greens (nitrogen rich materials) - as well as a place to mix them (compost). This composting system is located at the Lincoln County Master Gardener demonstration garden, on the Lincoln City Campus of Oregon Coast Community College.
152 degrees in the new orchard compost pile. This is the pile with pine needles and oak leaves added for more acidity. It's layered with wood chips, horse manure and several gallons of rain water lightly sprinkled on each layer. This will become mulch for the blueberries in the Spring. Learn more at Half Hill Farm.
This is the side of a port-o-potty that has been retrofitted and turned into a composting toilet by a friend here in town. Her goal is to rent it out as a prototype composting port-o-potty for shows and events. I spray painted a little wrap around mural on the outside of some tunnels and a city from the future.. :)
These plastic composters, sometimes called 'Darth Vaders' due to their resemblance to helmet of the infamous 'Star Wars' character, are a low cost way to compost garden and kitchen waste. Their dark color helps to heat the compost. The covered lid keeps the compost from getting rain-soaked. However, some compost aficionados don't care for these bins, claiming that they don't allow for adequate intake of oxygen.
2 years later, we have fresh compost/soil for the garden.

The barrel is from a local hospital (don't worry - no biohazard materials) and the frame is the roll bar from a Jeep CJ7. The steel bar going through the center is from our closets. When we moved in the previous owners had used steel pipe for the hang bars in all the closets. We saved them all when we updated the closets... 9 years later we pulled one out for a compost bin. Who would have thought?!
