Original post
I’m curious to know what you first set in motion/noted/purchased/organized once it was clear in which month you could move into your new house.

So far, I have noted:
------------------------------
- Buy a mailbox
- Order trash bins
- Buy a twin-drum composter
(- Cancel rental apartment lease, only once the move-in date is fixed)

The city’s organic waste bin? Or is that not available where you live?

Yes, you mean the green bin, which does exist. However, we would prefer to process our waste ourselves. Therefore, we want to get a composter. But which one?

Our first task was to buy used moving boxes and set up an alert for new listings.

There is not only the option of an open pile or plastic bins but also some really nice ones you can build yourself. In a book, there was a compost bin made of clinker bricks (of course constructed with large holes to allow airflow). If you add a nice lid on top, you hardly recognize it as a compost bin anymore.

At the time, we decided on this model:


Dark gray wooden storage box with lid for the garden

I think there was a mix-up with the quotes. The quote you used is from Mahri23, not from me. ;-)

We still have something like that on our list. I just haven’t found one in the right size yet...

What size do you think you need?
I still need to do some calculations, but I’m probably thinking of two side by side. I generally prefer more compartments rather than fewer.

I don’t understand that sentence.
