<p>A kitchen waste composter for composting vegetable matter comprises an outer drum having an axis for rotation which is disposed horizontally for rotation inside an outer housing. The outer drum and the housing have respective waste inlet means which are in communication with each other for receiving waste so that waste which is introduced into the housing is received inside the outer drum. An inner drum having an axis for rotation which is disposed horizontally for rotation of the inner drum is disposed inside the outer drum. Waste outlet means formed in the inner drum is adapted to discharge decomposing waste through an open end wall of the outer drum. The configuration of the outer drum with the inner drum disposed inside, allows for a two-stage decomposition of waste matter, thereby maximizing the capacity of the composter while occupying a minimum of space which is customarily at a premium in the kitchen environment.</p> |
