A '''Compost Bin''' is an immovable container where [[weeds]], crops, [[herb]]s, fruits and other [[Farming]] [[Skills|skill]] products are placed to make [[compost]], [[supercompost]], or [[rotten tomato]]es. Compost Bins are located next to [[Farming/Patch locations|allotment/flower/herb patches]]:

*South of [[Falador|Falador ]] (Cabbage teleport with [[Explorer ring 3]] or [[Explorer ring 4|4]])
*West of [[Port Phasmatys]] ([[Ectophial]] teleport)
*North of [[East Ardougne|Ardougne]] ([[Ardougne cloak]] teleport to '''farm''', or [[Home Teleport]] to Ardougne)
*North of [[Catherby]] ([[Camelot Teleport]])
*Middle of [[Taverley]], Next to the potato patch. ([[Home Teleport]] to Taverley)
*Middle camp of [[Herblore Habitat]] ([[Juju spiritbag]] teleport)

Players need 15 items to fill the Compost Bin, which they can then close to start the rotting process.

Players must use 15 supercompost-compatible items in the compost bin to make supercompost - even one incompatible item will make the whole contents into regular compost. This is the same when making rotten tomatoes. A message will pop up warning the player if they choose to impurify their compost bin.

After the [[15 September]] [[Update:Z-buffering|update]], compost bins were updated so that when examined players could see how full they were, from empty through to completely full (0-15 items). Since different players fill the compost bins with different quantities of items, the examine text is different for each player depending on what they have put inside.

Compost generally takes between 35-50 minutes to decompose inside the bin.
