Lifetime Dual Composter 2 x 189 Litre Tumblers
The Lifetime 60072 is a dual compost tumbler for gardeners who produce steady kitchen scraps and grass clippings and want a continuous supply of compost. Two enclosed 189 litre drums sit side by side on a galvanised steel frame, so one batch matures while the other takes fresh waste. Black double-walled polyethylene absorbs heat, and the drums turn on their axis with far less effort than forking a heap.
Why Open Heaps and Single Bins Fall Behind
An open compost heap sprawls, attracts attention from pests and needs a fork and a strong back to turn. A single bin forces you to stop adding waste while a batch finishes. Lifetime solves both with two separate drums. Each one is made from high density, double-walled polyethylene with heavy duty UV-protected HDPE panels, and the non-cylindrical shape tumbles the contents more effectively than a round drum. An internal aeration bar and four corner vents push air through every load, while a powder coated, galvanised steel frame keeps 378 litres of capacity steady.
What Keeps Each Batch Moving
- Two 189 Litre Drums: Run a continuous cycle, with one side cooking while the other fills with fresh scraps.
- Red Processing Clip: Clips onto the handle so you always know which drum is maturing and which is open.
- Aeration Bar and Vents: Internal bar and four corner vents supply the airflow needed to break material down.
- Galvanised Steel Frame: Powder coated stand and galvanised base hold both drums firmly side by side outdoors.

Tip the morning peelings into the open drum, give the cooking side a few turns on your way past, and the routine takes minutes. By the time the second drum is full, the first is ready to spread over the vegetable patch, raised beds or flower borders.

FAQs
Q: Will the drums stand up to years outdoors?
A: The panels are heavy duty, UV-protected HDPE, and the aeration tube, frame and base are galvanised steel with a powder coated finish. That combination is built to live outside through sun, rain and frost, season after season, without cracking or rusting through.
Q: How do I tell the two batches apart?
A: Attach the red processing indicator clip to the handle of the drum that is cooking, then add fresh material only to the other one. When the clipped drum is ready, empty it, move the clip across and start again.
Q: How soon will my composter reach me?
A: Orders are picked and packed promptly, then handed to a dependable courier service. Swift UK dispatch gets the box moving quickly, and tracking details are emailed once it leaves our warehouse.
