Drum Garbage Can Composter by jraufman

Step 4: Hang the can

Now cut two holes into the sides of the garbage can just large enough to allow whatever you're going to be using to suspend the can on the support structure. I used rebar but you could also use PVC tubing probably. You don't want these holes to be too big - just big enough to get your suspending beam through. Then I drilled 2 similarly sized holes into the two spots on the support structure where I wanted to suspend the garbage can.
I then passed the rebar through one end of the support, through both ends of the can, and then through the other end of the support. And voila!
Check to make sure it's sturdy and that you can swing the can a full 360 degrees without any obstructions.
Have fun composting!
