Yehudah – the black plastic water tanks/butts are made by a firm called ‘Hofit’. You can order them through garden centres (try the one on rehov Beitar in Arnona, near the Taielet Promenade) – but they are expensive.

Anybody know where I can buy one of those big black plastic water tanks (typically seen on rooftops of Arab homes)? I think I can modify it and use it for a compost bin, but the plumbing supply places here in Jerusalem don’t seem to be able to point me to a source for these (guess they just sell the white metal dude tanks.) Thanks!

I too am having difficulty navigating websites in Hebrew on composting options in Jerusalem. Any help on a)stores where compost bins are sold, or b) compost drop off points would be most appreciated. Many thanks!
