Terms of Use

These terms were last updated on 2026-09-18.

By using Blackgold Bin you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

All content on this site is provided for general information about home composting and soil building. It is not professional horticultural, agricultural, environmental, health or safety advice, and it is not a substitute for local regulations or for advice from a qualified professional familiar with your site, materials and climate. Batch results depend on feedstock, climate, container and management, and the outcomes recorded here are not a guarantee of the outcomes you will get.

Composting involves biological processes, fungi, dust and, in the case of manure, potential pathogens. Anyone handling large volumes of dry material, turning mouldy piles or working with manure should take normal precautions: gloves, eye protection and a dust mask in enclosed or dusty conditions. Anyone who is immunocompromised should take medical advice before handling compost or manure. You are responsible for how you handle materials on your own property.
