I had a recycled plastic one that fell apart due to the compression on the sides. It sold originally for over $100. My new one is four feet by two feet on the inside and I used boards for the front that can be removed to access the finished product. I plan on making a top that flips up out of corregated panels. That should be less than $20. Don't bother with the commercial "recycled plastic" ones. Go to the hardware store and get the materials to make your own. Contact me if you need more information or inspiration. I just built a cinder block compost bin in less than a half hour and for under $50
