Damaged Goods Returns Policy

The most likely need to contact us will be damage you notice to the HOTBIN caused in transit. Wherever possible if the packaging appears damaged inspect the product before the driver leaves, if damage is apparent sign for the item as damaged - it makes claims and replacements so much easier. If you notice damage or a fault please contact us immediately by email giving the following information:

  1. A description of the problem (a photograph often helps).
  2. How you believe it was damaged - I.e. in transit or accidentally during use.

Your HOTBIN comes with a 3-year manufacturer’s guarantee on the EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) material with the exception of the thermometers, cam straps, raking stick and empty kick start bottle which are guaranteed for 12 months.

What is NOT included in the scope of the guarantee

  1. Damage caused by vermin or animals (Please read Minimizing Visits from Vermin)
  2. Accidental damage

NOTE: Look after your HOTBIN and it will keep you in free, organic rich compost for 10-15 years plus.
