ORDER DIRECT  (USA - 48 States Only)

NEW GREEN CONES HAVE ARRIVED!!!  All prepaid orders will ship out first. We are currently processing the backorder list. It is a bit overwhelming, so we thank you advance for your patience.  If you know you are on the backorder list, but have not yet been contacted, it is OK to go ahead and order below.  We will not double ship, so do not worry.

Our factory was temporarily closed and our supply channels severely disrupted due to COVID-19.    We are doing our best to catch up as quickly as possible, but we are still a few days behind on shipping out orders. We have not re-activated our other retail channels, so the fastest ordering method is still using the buttons below.

Units ship via Fedex Ground from North Carolina.  We will email you a tracking number as soon as the order is processed in 1-2 business days.  This includes a digester kit and Installation / User's Guide.  We ONLY ship to the lower 48 contiguous states.  If you want more than 1 unit, please email us for a discounted shipping quote.  Please let us know if you have any questions!

A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING:  We sincerely apologize for the increases in shipping over the last 2-3 years.  The cost to ship an 18 lbs box to the furtherest location from our warehouse is approx. $20.  HOWEVER, due to all of the additional surcharges (you would be shocked how many there are), that same parcel now costs up to $85.  We do subsidize the amount to the best of our abilities.  If you have a group that can team up on the purchase of these, it becomes very affordable to ship them via LTL Truck Freight when you reach a quantity of 6.  Just reach out and we will assist.

We do have a few discounted units that are not perfect and cannot be sold as new.  All function perfectly. If you are interested, let us know and we will send photos and the reduced pricing.

Product Information:

Picture
Originally developed in the UK for breaking down and composting food waste, this in-ground, solar digester uses heat from the sun to generate high internal temperatures for faster microbial activity. In addition to providing insulation, the air chamber created by the dual cones allows for passive convection currents to continually move fresh air through the system, providing the necessary oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions, which helps to mitigate foul odors.  Depending on the year of production, these have been fabricated in Canada, the US and currently in the UK.  Designed to operate effectively in both warm and cold climates.

Protected, underground basket is difficult for hungry critters or curious pets to access - but easy to empty when filled with finished compost. The system provides sufficient capacity to digest 1.5-2 lbs of food waste per day (scraps from 3-5 adults).   The Green Cone may also be used to effectively break down solid pet poop and during emergency situations, human solid waste.

PLEASE NOTE:  The top bar on the outer green cone piece is for stability during the manufacturing process.  Some have been pre-removed at the factory, while others still have them attached.  If yours comes with one, you may remove it or keep it attached - it does not affect the performance either way.
