Compost Bin Question???

[Ashanti Duggins]

So I live in an apartment with a very small yard space to work with, So first things first I started my small Folgers can compost in my kitchen. My question is why do people poke holes into their Plastic Compost Bins. Does this help the compost in some way??? I'm sorry if this sounds like a silly question to some of you but I can't find any info on this subject, so I though I'd ask you all.

Drilling holes into their bins?

Hmm?

Bacteria needs air to survive. The bacteria is what breaks down or decomposes the organic matter. No holes=no air=what is called anaerobic which=a stinky mess
