LALASTAR Compost Bin Kitchen, Small Compost Bin for Kitchen, Countertop Compost Bucket with Lid, Odorless Hanging Trash Can for RV/Office/Dog, Mini Food Waste Bin for Countertop, 3L/0.8 Gal, Blue

easy to hide and use, small size insures the greens don't get moldy before emptying, great for my compost bin

I love it.. I'm using it by hanging it on the bottom cabinet door in the kitchen. I bought the white one. I love the size bc I have a cat who thinks all smells need to be tend to, eaten n make a mess of.. love him.. the small size is good enough for one days smelly food to be collected n taken outside.. yes, everyday.. my house does not smell n the cat stays off the trash. I recommended this product if you are looking for something sturdy, compact, good enough to add to your kitchen. If you would like to hide it.. you can always place it on the inside of the door... it's that small. It will also sit on the counter for quick access too. Oh! Clean up is a breeze too. I really like my purchase.

We are a two person household in an apartment with a relatively small kitchen and no yard. Composting is now required in New York City. The bucket is small, but for us holds about 4 days of compostable items most days. It has a holder around the top edge that holds compostable bags in place, and the cover hooks onto the top edge for convenience when adding items. Because it is small, it attaches to the cupboard door under the sink near the top so it clears the cleaning products etc. stored under the sink. My only complaint is that there is no place to attach a small charcoal filter, so that odors are absorbed when open. Not a problem when the lid is on. It is easy to clean.

Great size and color (green). I keep it on my kitchen counter to use daily and dump it into my yard waste can each week. I had been searching for something like this for a long time and was so happy to find it on Amazon.

As noted, depending on your use it's pretty small. This is fine for us since the compost pile is just a short walk away so emptying this puppy every couple of days is not an issue. It is narrow and short enough to fit on the door under our kitchen sink, without having to make a space for it. I used the provided hanger so it clears the top of the cleaning products that are on that side of the sink. I also bought some of the "compostable" bags but have since learned that isn't really accurate. Those bags will only degrade in a high temp commercial composting operation. However, since this container is plastic I am concerned that it will eventually take on odor so I'm using the bags anyway... and emptying them into the bin. I saw a question about using brown paper lunch bags, so I might try that (but that would seem to create an issue with liquid and therefore odor.) I have since learned that many people will use a metal bowl and/or some keep a bag/bowl in their freezer. The materials freeze which eliminates the possibility of smell and the moisture issue. That seems to work better for a larger cache though, so I'm sticking with this solution for as long as it works. The lid on this container is nice and tight, so we generally only have an odor issue when my wife puts onion or such in there.

I'm using this on my kitchen counter right next to the sink. I'm not hanging it on the cabinet door b/c I didn't want to bump it while walking back and forth in the kitchen. Sitting on the kitchen counter, it practically blends so much into the background that it's barely noticeable. Although this is rather small, it's plenty large enough for one day's worth of kitchen waste. Mind you, I don't try to cram anything large like cracker boxes, paper plates or packing trays into this bin, but for normal, everyday kitchen trash, this is very, very sufficient. I am using this in 2 different homes in 2 different states. In CA, I use 2 of these side-by-side - - - one for trash and the other for compost. In HI, the state does not compost, so I use just one for both food scraps and kitchen trash. We are two people in the household and this one small bin is amply sufficient for one day's worth of scraps and trash. The small plastic bags in grocery store produce sections fit perfectly and I love how you can tuck the bag into the bin itself so the unsightly ends are out of sight.

This is okay but for me I don't think this is an ideal solution. Mounting was a challenge you only get one shot with the adhesive mount, I chose to screw the mount into where I was keeping the container (the inside of the cabinet where my trash can is) The lid does seal tightly to keep out most odors. If you do not empty this every few days (and clean it out) you will get mold. The mold will make spores which will become airborne when you open the container, add food scraps or empty the container. Obviously breathing mold spores can pose a hazard.

I have tried numerous ways to separate organic kitchen waste & coffee grounds from the regular trash, each have been a pain for one reason or another and it is less trouble to just empty the trash more often. This little bin is absolutely the best! I got the large size and have been using it for a couple months, and I still love it. I have a farmhouse sink so it can sit in the corner, it comes with a bracket that allows it to be installed in/on a cabinet door or wall- I usually would never put something like this inside a cabinet, but this seals up so nicely that there is no smell (even onion peelings) or gnats that have been a problem with others, even after 5-6 days so if that worked best for your kitchen layout you could. This design is so smart - the plastic cleans nicely, it has a little cuff that can fit easily to hold a liner (I use a grocery bag) and the lid sits on top snugly but easy to remove to add garbage. The lid has a little hook on the underside it so it can hang off the side of the bin while you are cutting veggies... I cannot think of anything that I would add- it is a well designed delightful addition to my kitchen! Perfect for composters!
