Can I put my compost bin in my front garden?

The kids play out front, and out back, but our back garden is rather small and set up for the kids and we don't really have a realistic space for a compost bin.

On the other hand, we have a stupid front garden which is grassed that cats poo on, and leads to our drive (shared with next door) our normal bin and recycling bins live on this so can't our compost bin?

Is there is reason why you think that you can't put it there? I don't know of any reason why not. If you have grass, you have earth, therefore you will have worms

The only things you can't put in your front garden are old matresses and sofas.!
Not a good look.

don't see why this'd be a problem

You can keep a compost bin on concrete as long as it has worms in it (ours is, we used to lob in any worms we found and now it has billions of worms)

Sounds perfect for a compost bin. can you site it far enough from the road that random peopel won;t put rubbish in it

So glad I found this post. I was just thinking the same thing. My back garden is small and set up for the kids where as my front garden is long and hardly used apart from bins and car. I'm going to go for it 👍 and get a compost bin.
