About this item
- Open with One Hand - If you have been looking for a kitchen compost container with lid that you can open with one hand, then your search is over! Our unique design means that you will be able to open the lid with one hand. This is great for you because it makes adding scraps to your kitchen scrap bin quick and easy!
- Leak Proof - The problem with other countertop compost containers is that they are made of stainless steel. When acidic foods are added directly to a metal bin, over time they can eat through the metal and cause rust and leaks. Our compost countertop bin has a plastic liner bucket which means that food does not touch the powder-coated steel outer bin and prevents it from rusting and leaking. Never suffer from your kitchen scraps container leaking on your kitchen counter again!
- No Smells - Unlike other bins that need two filters to control odors, our bin needs only one. We include two carbon filters with each bin. Each filter can last up to 6 months with proper care. This means that you get up to 1 years worth of filters when you purchase your bin making this bin a great value. Replacement filters are available on Amazon.
- Perfect Fit - Our small compost bin for kitchen is compact in size allowing it to fit under most upper kitchen cabinets which means that it does not take up too much of your valuable countertop workspace. And the neutral cream color looks great in most kitchens including rustic country and farmhouse style. The bin is 9.5 inches high with lid. Inner bucket is 6 inches in diameter. 0.8 Gallon Capacity (3 Liter)
- Beautiful in Your Kitchen - The neutral cream color of our kitchen counter compost bin looks great in most kitchens including rustic country and farmhouse style.

SIZE is convenient...I empty it every day or two and I like that it doesn't take up a bunch of space on my counter.
CUTE farmhouse design of warm white lets it blend into the background. The "COMPOST" wording is discreet and is only on one side of the can, so I can turn it around if I don't want to see it.
EXTRA FILTER is provided. Nice touch.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
HANDLE on the inner black buck is a bit too large so it doesn't sit flat, which means that the metal outer lid also sits slightly off kilter. It's such an obvious manufacturing flaw (someone didn't measure the arc of the metal hoop correctly) so this company just shrugged its shoulders and said "oh well....sh*t happens." Honestly, for the price ($27) for a metal can with a black liner, they should have redone the metal handles and made it right.

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021
I dropped two stars in the rating and changed the headline from 'great compost bin' to 'OK compost bin with problems'.
Why?
I had to reorder yet another inside plastic bin liner. The replacement liner I previously ordered broke on the bottom after only few months. I was careful not to be pressing down when putting items into the bin but it still broke.
I ordered another replacement liner bin since I like the look of the metal outer bin but I will stop using this all together if the new plastic liner bin breaks again. This will be the 3rd bin. The 1st came with it. The 2nd was a replacement ($16.96 US with shipping) bought from the Relaxed Gardener website . The 3rd was $18.24 US with shipping.
Note that as of time of writing this, the bin lists for $27.95 on Amazon with free Prime shipping. Having spent an additional $35 US on replacement liner bins is not worth the purchase price. I would not buy this again and will recommend you not buy it as well. be warned, the liner bins do not last despite my taking great care with the last liner bin.
ORIGINAL REVIEW
I like this compost bin and am happy I purchased it. I would buy it again. Some things to keep in mind:
1) Lots of comments are about the lid. The lid rests on top of the black liner bin that sits inside the canister. If you look at the liner bin, you can see the lip at the top of it. It does not screw on nor does it create a tight sealed fit. For example, if you turned the composter sideways, the lid would come off.
2) I do not notice any issue with odors even though the lid is slightly loose fitting. I’m still using the original charcoal filter after 2 years so it either works very well or I’m just keeping up with emptying the bin regularly. If I put raw onions in it, I do need to empty it that day or the following day.
3) The holding capacity is sufficient enough that I only empty this every 3-5 days. It really depends on what I’m cooking.
4) If you don’t empty it every few days, you will see flies. Again, this is not a sealed bin.
5) I had mine bin for 2-1/2 years before the inner black liner bin cracked. The problem was my fault as I tried pushing more material into the bin by pressing down relatively hard with my hand. That’s what you get for being lazy and not emptying it when you should!
6) Replacement black liner bins can be ordered from the Relaxed Gardener’s website as numerous Amazon comments over the years list the part as being out of stock on Amazon. See Q&A section for the Relaxed Gardener replacement link.
7) Lastly, I came across a larger version of this bin offered by a different vendor. It doesn't have the word Compost printed on the side but is available in antique white or red as of the time I wrote this review. I'm happy with the smaller size but if you want something bigger, just do an Amazon search to find it.
Thanks for taking the time to read my review!
