That the contents break down to their most basic form is the reason why the mass of a compost bin decreases. The composting process reduces compounds to elements through the interaction of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclable materials with air, heat, light, micro-organisms, and moisture.

Where will heat of a compost bin go?
The heat stays mostly inside the compost, that's why it is important to turn the compost inside out regularly, so that every part of the compost gets sterilized from bad germs. In open air compost heaps, the heat will evaporate as vapor, especially visible in cold weather. That water loss needs to be compensated. There is probably not much residual heat at the surface of a compost bin. Heat usually goes up, but in that case, the heat is not in air or water, but in the mass of the compost itself, so it radiates in all directions. A small container such as a compost bin would see most of the heat exchanged from every side.
