This design is a mix of several styles of compost bins we've seen or read about. We are in a residential neighborhood so the bins have to be covered to discourage dogs and other critters from investigating our kitchen scraps. Having three compartments allows us turn the compost regularly from one compartment into the next, keeping two piles cooking at all times. Usually by the time we're ready to start a third one, it's time to empty the first bin and work it into a garden bed. Because they are tall bins, the front panel slides out making it quite easy to get in with a pitch fork to turn the pile, and also unload it.
