Are Metros plastic home composting bins still being used?
Since 1994, Metro has sold almost 90,000 home composting bins in annual truckload sales. The 2004 survey to 100 bin purchasers distributed evenly among the 1995, 1996, 2000 and 2001 sales found that an average of 68 percent of these bin purchasers still use them. Of the 32 percent of bin owners who stopped using their bins or never used them in the first place, half are using another method to compost. Overall, 84 percent of residents that purchased a bin are still using some method to compost.
