Orlando bin blocks are typically 18” tall, 36” wide and up to 72” long–weighing around 3,800 lbs. These mighty construction tools must be lifted using a forklift, and each block has a ridge that fits into another block for efficient stacking.
Orlando bin blocks are an excellent tool for building bins to contain sand, soil, rock or mulch. They have also been known to create massive retaining walls, privacy walls for industrial application, and they’ve even been used as tent anchors to stabilize large party tents. These interlocking masses of concrete also have some environmentally friendly uses as well. Bin blocks can be used to make large, sturdy compost bins.
A compost bin has traditionally been used by green-thumbed individuals to provide an inexpensive and organic source of nutrients to their garden foliage. Cutting down on the amount of fertilizer a gardener may need is not the only use for compost bins. A good majority of the items thrown out by the average American consists of organic material that could be composted. Compost bins reduce the amount of garbage put out on the curb each week, resulting in less organic debris in landfills. Compost bins also save you money on chemical fertilizers, making your yard healthier and chemical-free, and a compost bin is a great eco-friendly educational tool for the neighborhood children.

Compost bins are known for being expensive and unattractive. Orlando bin blocks are sturdy and fit together tightly, ensuring stability, and you can use your yard mastery to grow vines up the blocks to give it a more organic and feng shui look. Their durability, and capability to handle a large amount of yard material make them an excellent construction material for a compost bin.
To build a compost bin using Orlando bin blocks, first select a ground level bin site, and use the appropriate machinery to place the blocks in the desired shape and size. Leave one-half inch between each block to let air circulate throughout the compost bin. Add a second and third layer (depending on the height you desire) in a staggered pattern to increase stability.
