Compost Bucket Large (9.6 Quart)

I suppose you could use anything for holding food scraps but this bucket seems perfect in every way. It’s light and not too big, thus saving kitchen counter space. It holds just enough. By that I mean, in a household of three, we generate enough compostable scrap to fill the bucket before the first scraps to go in begin to rot. The lid fits down tight if you want to prevent fruit nats and flies from finding your scraps and so far the ants haven’t noticed it either. We are happy with our buy which replaced a stylish but cumbersome and now rusting  galvanized pail.

Excellent product and was delivered promptly. The size allows me to reduce the number of trips I have to make to our compost pile. I sometimes don’t empty the container for 3 days and it has never emitted an odor. In addition, it’s light weight, making it easy to carry even when filled to the brim. Once emptied, I give it a quick rinse and it’s ready to go. The only thing I would have preferred is a choice of colors, but that’s not a major issue since everything else about the product is great!

Rather than make daily trips to the compost pile because of smelly, compost-bound scraps, this countertop or under-cabinet Compost Bucket has built-in, activated-carbon filters to absorb odors. Toss in vegetable scraps, tea bags, eggshells and other organic materials, then take to the compost pile later. Filters last 3 months. Canada. Choose Regular (5.5 qt.) or Large (9.6 qt.). Regular Compost Bucket: 7 3/4″H x 8″W x 7 1/2″D. Large Compost Bucket: 11 1/4″H x 9″W x 9″D.
