4. SERVICE
a) Check the fan 1) monthly to ensure it is working or 2) if you notice unusual odour.
b) The average length of time until a container is ¾ full (recommended exchange level) is around
2 – 4 weeks at 2 people full time use.
c) When this level is reached move the mechanism on so that a new, empty chamber can be
started.
d) When the last empty container is filled, remove the container that has been composting the
longest and observe point 5 below.
e) If the contents of the composting container have not totally broken down, they may be added to
a garden composter to finish composting before using the compost as per point 5.
To exchange or empty the Rota Pod, protective clothing, face mask, glasses and gloves must be worn
at all times. Lift the container out, using the in-build handles. The waste will finish composting in the
Rota Pod (3 months is ideal) or external composter.
When emptying a container, carry to the disposal site. Gently lay the container on its side and start
emptying the container with a spade, shovel or trowel. Always observe safe work methods. Clean the
container by hosing if required.
5. USE OF COMPOST
a. Bury the contents of the container into a prepared area. Burial depth is a minimum of 300mm
in soil that is not intended for human food cultivation for six (6) months, and
b. Burial should be a minimum of 30 metres from any water source and 6 metres from any sub-
soil or open drainage system, or
c. Disposed of as directed by the Local Government.
6. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
Composting will occur satisfactorily between 5 and 50 degrees Celsius.
If you are leaving the premises for a longer period, it is OK to hibernate the system.
Cover the active container's compost with a generous amount of peat and turn the fan off.
When re-activating the system turn the fan on and possibly add some compost starter.
