Instructions.
1. Feed the RolyPig with kitchen waste, just lift his snout.
2. Roll the RolyPig over onto the next of his 10 sides in the direction of the arrows. (NB It may be necessary to roll beyond this point to displace the material within.)
3. Pull the RolyPig's head into the upright position.
4. Leave until feeding time or when he needs to be moved.
5. Remove the collection container when in the upright position.
6. Empty the contents when required.

How it works.
Kitchen waste and garden waste (ideally shredded) is loaded into the RolyPigs mouth and drops into the first compartment.
Then say a week later when the kitchen waste bucket is full again, feed the RolyPig again but this time, to make room, roll the RolyPig in the direction of the arrows on the body. Roll it once onto the next flat side and the material added say a week ago, is moved away from the mouth shute giving room for the next bucketful of waste. It is only necessary to move the RolyPig to make room for the new waste to be added, (move a maximum of 2 flat sides.)
If you need to move the RolyPig more than three flat surfaces per week then this will result in material passing through too quickly for optimum breakdown. Shredding all of the material fed to the RolyPig will increase the effectiveness of the RolyPig if your volume of waste is near to the capacity of the RolyPig.
The first compartment empties into the second compartment when the RolyPig has completed a whole revolution of ten flat surfaces. The first compartment is then empty and can receive new waste which is now in the second compartment.
As the above process of adding new waste and rolling the RolyPig one or two flat sides at a time continues, eventually the third and fourth compartments are brought to use. The end of the cycle is achieved when compartment number four discharges its contents into the integral rear drawer as the RolyPig is rolled to make room for a new bucket of waste.
When material appears in the rear drawer it is necessary to remove the drawer and empty the contents eg to mulch around shrubs etc. Because material flows from one compartment to the next and finally into the rear discharge drawer, the RolyPig never becomes 'full' to the top and, therefore the operating effort required is relatively low.
