• Materials Needed:
    • 2 Disassembled pallets
    • A large plastic drum
    • A sturdy metal pipe (for the axle)
  • Steps:
    1. Build an “X” or “A” frame using the thick stringers from the pallets.
    2. Drill a hole through the center of the drum and slide it onto the pipe.
    3. Mount the pipe onto the pallet frame.
    4. Cut a hatch into the drum for adding scraps.
  • Pro Tip: Paint the drum black to help it absorb heat, which speeds up the decomposition process.
