Big, clean, and easy to use.

This is like your perfect purse-big on the inside and small on the outside. Super easy to drop handfuls if bad lettuce, cantelope rinds and dumped coffe filters. No stink or mess and really easy to host out and in to the composter. A very welcome addition.

Also the one handed opening thing cannot be overstated. So cool!

Exactly What You Want

I did a lot of research to find the perfect compost bin and I believe I made the right purchase. Beautiful, minimalist, easy to clean, high-quality, and effective. As a New Yorker, I appreciate the handle as I carry it to the city compost bins and that there are no filters that I have to continuously change out. Mine stays in the freezer and there...Read More
