Joseph Joseph Stack Kitchen Food Intelligent Waste Compost Caddy Recycling Bin with Odor Filter, 4 Litre / 1 Gallon - Stone

Love my new counter top composting bin.No smell sneak out and the size is good for 1-2 days

I've been using this for about a week after being very resistant to saving food scraps. I like the size - it's perfect for daily use. Our city has us add scraps to our green/landscape bin so composting is fairly straight forward. The countertop bin they provided us was just absolutely terrible so I've been hunting for a decent replacement ever since. This looks really nice in the kitchen, you wouldn't know it was full of food scraps. It's a good size, it's small so it doesn't take up too much space, but roomy and really easy to clean. The lid opens up nicely and is lightweight so it doesn't tip the bin (like the city provided one did...) The metal handle is also a great upgraded feature. It just feels sturdy and well made. It's still winter so the bugs aren't out yet, so I'm not sure how well this will deter pests. I'll update if we end up with a fruit fly problem.

Good aesthetics and functional. Recommend

The material used seems to be durable. It is very easy to clean and offers an easy way to remove the garbage.However, there are points of entry for flies which allows them to get inside and lay eggs, resulting in a pool of maggots after a few days. Luckily the smell does not escape, meaning that the filter is doing its job well.If I could DIY a fix to this small issue, I would give it a higher rating.

Like the look, ease of opening & filter. Use disposable composting bags to line inside

I was so sad that the top of my other compost container somehow ended up missing after my siblings visited while I was away. Then I found this one. It takes up more room on the sink than I would like, but it also emits zero smells. It's easy to keep clean (my criteria for any trash or waste items) and it comes apart quite easily to remove the full bags (it even holds more). It even fits the bags that I had bought for the previous Aldi's container I had held onto for so long. This was definitely an upgrade. I am very happy with the product. I searched and searched. This is the one.

The media could not be loaded. I know this is a compost bin but I needed something a little bigger than a desk top trash can I know it's unconventional but I use it as a trash can when im scooping my cats litter box ( I don't like holding the doggie bags when im scooping) it's wide enough so I don't drop any litter or gross stuff on the floor and plenty of inches in space left all around where the litter scoop doesn't touch the sides I have a 5.2 inch litter scoop. It is small and compact enough that it doesn't take up a whole lot of room but deep enough to hold a good amout of litter or other things for what you will be using it for. The lid stays up perfectly im not sure about smell since im not using it as a compost bin but I do not leave the scooped litter in there I take it out after and replace the bag for the next scoop. So i cant say anything about keeping smells out but For me this little bin is amazing and perfect for what I was looking for and what i need. It feels very sturdy. Super easy to clean and give it a good wash. Not really any assembly needed just pop the lid on and off the part where you put the charcoal filter you squeeze and push out if anyone is having trouble with that but super easy once you get the hang of it. The bin was a bit pricey but personally for me and what I needed to use it for was well worth the price I have a attached a video I use the doggie bags jumbo size 15 x 20 inches and it fits perfect.

Perfect size and look for kitchen counter
