Lifetime 60072: The High-Capacity Dual Tumbling Composter

Best For: Large Gardens, Active Families, and Year-Round Composting

Stop waiting for your compost to "finish." The Lifetime 60072 Dual Composter is engineered for high-volume efficiency, featuring a unique two-chamber system that allows you to "cook" one batch while simultaneously starting another. With a massive 100-gallon total capacity, this is the heavy-duty solution for gardeners who need a consistent supply of nutrient-rich soil.

Why the Lifetime 60072 Stands Out

Dual-Chamber Efficiency: Two independent 50-gallon tumblers mean you never have to stop composting. Rotate one while the other matures.
Superior Heat Retention: Constructed with UV-protected, double-walled high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The black panels absorb solar heat, accelerating the breakdown process even in cooler climates.
Heavy-Duty Framework: Supported by a powder-coated steel frame with an integrated internal aeration bar that mixes oxygen into the core with every turn.
Ergonomic Design: Extra-large removable lids and a balanced rotation axis make loading and unloading significantly easier than traditional bins or ground piles.

Product Specifications

Total Capacity	100 Gallons (Two 50-Gallon Bins)
Material	Double-Walled HDPE & Powder-Coated Steel

Pro-Active Maintenance: The "Lifetime" Secret

To ensure your composter truly lasts a lifetime, especially in humid or coastal environments, we recommend a simple annual maintenance routine:

Hinge Care: Apply a quick spray of silicone lubricant to the door hinges once per season to prevent friction and moisture buildup.
Touch-Ups: Use a touch-up kit to cover any deep scratches in the powder coating on the frame.
Balanced Loads: For the smoothest rotation, try to keep the weight relatively even between the two bins.

Lifetime composter 60072 feature 2 tumbler chambers to improve the speed and efficiency of your compost production. Rather than wait for 1 batch of compost to finish preparing, you can start up your next batch in the adjacent tumbler. Each tumbler has a 50 gallon capacity and an aeration bar that helps the compost keep air in the ingredients to break them down properly. The double-walled, black polyethylene helps attract heat to assist in the breakdown of composting materials. Order your Composter here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Lifetime 60072 composter rust-proof?
A: The frame and hinges are made of galvanized, powder-coated steel designed for high weather resistance. While not "rust-proof" in extreme salt-air environments, regular maintenance with silicone spray on the moving parts ensures long-term durability and smooth operation.

Q: How fast does it produce compost?
A: Depending on the "green to brown" ratio and ambient temperature, the dual-chamber system can produce finished compost in as little as 4–8 weeks. The double-walled insulation helps maintain the high internal temperatures required for rapid decomposition.

Q: Can I use this composter in the winter?
A: Yes. The double-walled HDPE plastic acts as an insulator, helping to retain the metabolic heat generated by microbes. While the process slows down in sub-zero temperatures, the Lifetime 60072 is one of the best-performing tumblers for cold-weather composting.

Q: Is it pest-proof?
A: The enclosed tumbling design and secure latches make it extremely difficult for rodents and pests to access your kitchen scraps compared to open-air compost piles.

Composting Made Easy

I’ve owned this composting bin for almost ten years. I did have to replace the door hinges but Lifetime did provide parts at no cost. The composters work very well but don’t overlook the requirement to rotate them every week to minimize the stink!

Great Bin For A Lifetime

WE bought these years ago in another part of the country. I have disassembled them and transported them many times. Whenever I need a part the customer service staff at Lifetime always are prompt with supplying what I need. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. When they say Lifetime they mean it.

Well Engineered And Great Service

I bought this two weeks ago and found there was a piece missing; I contacted the customer desk (in USA) asking for a replacement and it was shipped from the USA and arrived 5 days later. I was impressed. Rarely to I find a help desk so responsive and helpful. Putting it together was enjoyable if you are good at DIY but it does need two people some of the time. I was very impressed by the engineering and design to allow it be be built from flat pack.

Excellent a Dual Composter

Fast Delivery, Exceptionally clear instructions both written and thru BILT app. Easy to construct, just follow the instructions exactly. Should keep us from buying compost for our gardens.

Love this composter!!

We LOVE this composter! It took my husband and me a couple of hours to put it together with only a few glitches. Some of the Joint seams can be very tight; ;which is probably a good thing. The unit has a small footprint compared to other composting methods I have used and it is easy to work. No more attempting to turn the compost with the old pitch fork. The composting instruction CD is also very helpful. We loved this unit so much that this is the second unit for us. The first one stayed with our house when it was sold; the buyers were so impressed with the composter that they insisted it be a part of the sale.

I am a Master Compost Instructor

Lifetime Review - . . . for Washington State. When it comes to composters, whether store bought or hand built, I've seen them all. But of all of them, I tip my hat to this one. I was out buying the parts to build a new drum composter - a plastic 45gal barrel and some aluminum - but the moment I saw this one, I was sold! In fact, the money I spent wouldn't even pay for the parts of the one I was about to build. More importantly, this one has indestructible construction (extremely important when dealing with nematodes and other microbes breaking down organic matter into compost), a powder-coated base, and the multi-position drum locking system is a breeze to fill and empty! It's also the perfect size for the average residential home. Best of all, . . . . . it's incredibly easy!For best results, mix 50% brown with 50% green, then tumble it for a minute or two. Within a day or two (depending on the ambient temperature), the mixture will begin to generate heat. Encouraged by this units double-wall construction, this is what you want, . . . . SO LEAVE IT ALONE! Once the temperature has subsided, spin the drum for a minute to remix the ingredients. Again, it will begin to generate heat. For best results, do this procedure 3 or 4 times, until it no longer generates heat. It is now ready to use. One last comment about compost. The goal of composting is not to make compost, but to create an environment that generates and encourages microbial habitat; these are the little guys that continue to break down organic matter into the building blocks that feed your plants long after you have spread the compost on your garden or lawn. Like you, nematodes need air and water to survive, so dry soil is dead soil

Q: Hello, many of the issues with this product seems to be a "Rust" issue. My question is are all metal parts used on this product Stainless Steel? The reviews seem to indicate this is a good product minus the need to replace parts due to rust.

Asked by: DIMAGGIO WASHINGTON - 4/4/2024

A: Lifetime composters are made of UV-resistant high-density polyethylene with most metal components being made from galvanized steel that is powder coated for weather and rust resistance. Powder coating is excellent for preventing the development of rust, but all metal products require some maintenance over time to keep them rust free. Composters by nature are often exposed to more dirt and moisture and may require additional attention as these make rust develop faster and easier. We recommend thoroughly inspecting and maintaining the product according to the provided instructions for maximum longevity, especially in humid areas. Lifetime Products will also provide a touch-up kit free of charge to help you maintain your product. To contact Lifetime Customer Service and request a touch up kit, call 800-225-3865, or email [email protected].

Q: How many gallons does it hold?

Asked by: customer - 3/31/2016

A: 100 gallons in total, but not designed to be ready at the same time, one 50 gallon is processing while the other is for new material. So perhaps only 50 available at a time. That may be why it is 50 gallon PER CONTAINER.
