Abstract: A compost container having a plurality of panels arranged in a multi-sided geometric configuration. The plurality of panels defines an interior volume for receipt of compost material. At least one of the plurality of panels is openable for accessing the interior volume. A first side member is affixed to one end of the plurality of panels. A second side member is affixed to an opposite end of the plurality of panels. The first and second side members enclose the interior volume. Openings are formed on the plurality of panels and the first and second side members so as to have a total area of at least 5% of a total surface area of the plurality of panels and the first and second side members. The plurality of panels are arranged in an octagonal configuration.
