My father in law kindly made me the three bin system that I read so much about on here and I’m excited to get started. I currently have a black earth balance bin that is nearly full and has been going since late summer. I’m in socal so no freezing temps here to worry about. Should I move the contents of the nearly full bin into one of the new ones or just wait for it to finish? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

It looks great, could you share the plans?
Looks pretty sweet. Do you have boards to put on the front so the compost doesn’t spill out? That would be good to maximize how much you can have in each compartment.
As for your other compost, I’d put it in to kick things off. If it’s only been going since late summer, it probably needs more time and it will get the whole system off to a good start.
Dont leave them there
I would recommend setting it up so you can slide additional boards in and out up to the full height

That’s redwood, which means that’s about $300-$400 in just wood costs. You have nice in laws.
