Joseph Joseph Compo Mountable Food Waste Caddy, Easy-Fill with Adjustable Air Vent Compost Bin, 4 Liters/1 Gallon, Graphite

I was looking for a composting container to hold food scraps until they go out to the compost area outside. I wanted something big enough for the 2 of us for 5 days to a week but not so big that it took up a ton of space. This seems to fill the bill. I got the 4 Liter/1 gal SLIM LINE design so that I could put it into my sink while peeling veggies and still have room beside it to rinse the veggies and also so that I could mount it on the inside of the cabinet door under the sink when meal prep was complete. So far it has performed well. It holds enough veggie scraps during meal preps for the entire week, and I have not smelled any odors coming from it when the lid is closed. If I throw onion trimmings into it there is a strong onion smell for a while when the lid is open but after an hour nothing smells. I have not used the biodegradable bags for it since by the time we empty it after a number of days they would have already degraded. This means that the emptying process is a bit messy. BUT the little bin does clean up easily and so far I have noticed no stains. At present it has remained in my 2nd sink (I have a small sink in my island) until we finish installing our water filter under that sink. There will be room, but I want to optimize the space so am waiting until the filter system is fully installed, probably in about a month. (We are waiting for our contractor to do the installation.) I am pleased with this purchase. The quality and design of this is EXCELLENT, not a cheap looking or feeling product, well designed and it comes with a bracket to attach to the inside of the cabinet door which makes the bin easy to slide onto and take off the door when needed. I'm looking forward to many years of service of this little bin!

I was using an old ice bucket lined with a grocery bag for kitchen scraps previously which I thought was fine. But then I got this. This design is much better than my garage sale ice bucket; specifically, that this is as wide as a dinner plate makes for easier corralling of scraps. The vent holes that can be open or closed to prevent condensation or odors are handy. Perhaps a bit pricey for a handled plastic container with vent holes but a very good design.

Compact, sleek design Greatly improved my food prep to scraps in compost holder. Clean and neat Very easy to clean No yucky smells

In our community, we are required to recycle table scraps. So this has become a staple in my kitchen. I did mount it on the inside of the cabinet under my sink so it was more accessible for frequent use and it fits nicely. I found that the compostable bags that my grocery store offers for vegetables and fruits fit nicely on the inside of this item. So that saves me money. I like that it’s easy to wash and very helpful in my daily routine.

We’ve had our Joseph Joseph door-mountable compost bin for several weeks now and we’re 100% pleased with it. It’s so great to have it out of the way instead on the counter all the time, and it’s very accessible in the cabinet. I mounted it on the inside of the cabinet door below the sink on the left side. We wash dishes in the right-side sink, so the bin is easy to get to even if someone’s standing at the sink. I mounted it high enough that if you inadvertently leave the lid open, the cabinet door won’t shut—I recommend that. I taped the air vent shut. It doesn’t click in place and it kept opening up—just from moving it to the counter and back. I pulled it out one day and the vent was open there were fruit flies. Since I’ve taped it shut, we haven’t seen any more. That's my one complaint....the vent cover slides around. It’s a good size, lasts a couple of days before we feel the need to empty it (3 adults at home and a garden). It’s attractive and easy to clean and the finish is such that it doesn’t seem as if it will get discolored. The top opens with one finger, so it’s easy to open if your hands are full. Lastly, it fits down onto its bracket (and comes off) without a struggle. I used the accompanying screws to mount it. I bought the 6 liter Oggi Compost Pail Liner Bag--fits perfectly.

Perfect size compost for our empty nest. Great quality. Love the sleek design.

Lo volvería a comprar y de hecho ya lo he comprado dos veces. El diseño es muy bonito y encaja en cualquier cocina, fácil de instalar y de limpiar (NO EN LAVAVAJILLAS, NUNCA). Lo mejor es que se puede desplazar a cualquier situo, sierra bien y no da olores. Las bolsas son maravillosamente resistentes y ganan con creces a cualquier otra bolsa que haya probado. Muy satisfecha del producto, de la funcionalidad y del estilo.

Really good quality! Easy to install! Doesnt cause a smell in the cupboard. Lid is secure and opens easily. Fits normal food waste bags. Looks flush and stylish. Can fit a decent amount of food waste.

I searched everywhere for a good compost bin that checks off all my requirements: sleek looking, not bulky, perfect griege colour, lid does not fall off like the ikea ones, perfect size - not too big or small, holds garbage bag down, lid is removable, good quality, easy to clean, can attach to cabinet doors. This is definitely an Amazon Must-Have!

This unit is compact and solid. The design is great and it works really well attached to the inside of the cupboard door under our sink. Easy to remove, easy to empty and clean. Excellent choice.
