Joseph Joseph Intelligent Waste, Stack 4 Kitchen Food Waste Compost Caddy Recycling Bin with Odour Filter, 4 Litres / 1 Gallon- Graphite

It took me ages to make up my mind about the choice of a little waste container to put on my worktop.This J & J waste container ticked all the boxes for me, except the price box! I finally realized if placed on the right hand side of my sink, not far from my dark grey and stainless steel kettle and toaster by Breville, the dark grey plastic and the stainless steel handle of the J & J compost container would match perfectly. I have to admit this was the last reason that made me go ahead with the order, (though not the main reason!) but I was still thinking the price was a bit high. I must say I am now DELIGHTED with the practical and stylish result on my worktop! Worth every penny of it! Liner bags? Easy to notice the way of fixing the liner bags was very well thought of. Even the bags I had (a bit too big), worked. I will eventually shop around at Amazon to buy the proper size of J & J liners for it. This little compost container corresponds perfectly to my needs. I have already got a dual Brabantia kitchen bin on the kitchen floor. It has 2 sections - one of which is for all our garden compost. We are vegetarian, we always make fresh soup and we eat lots of fruit & veg so, we get lots and lots of peelings going straight into that bin. When full, it's emptied into our large compost bins at the end of the garden. I needed a small size compost container on my worktop (instead of using a salad bowl covered with a large plate!!!) to fill up with items connected with food I do NOT put in my garden compost (bits of cooked food, cheese rinds, daily peelings of citrus fruit, large stones from avocados (take years to decompose!) & stones from peaches and apricots, plus coffee filters & tea bags). The Council give us a sort of good size brown bucket to fill up with stuff for garden compost + bits of cooked foods and whatever you don't want to dump into your own garden compost -- but all must be put in biodegradable bags. No place on my kitchen floor for this brown squarish bucket, and it is much too big (and ugly) to put on my worktop! I keep it in the garage. The "bucket" in question gets emptied once a week at the same time as our general rubblish bins. Every 5 or 6 days, I empty the contents of my little J&J container into that brown bucket. Perfect solution for me. I now could not do without my J&J compact waste container, sitting nicely on my kitchen worktop, next to my sink, looking great with other accessories, and doing a much much better job than my old salad bowl covered with a plate! A liner bag gets filled within just about a week and it never ever smells. I feel I have now completed all my efforts towards the recycling of food, in a very satisfactory and very happy way!

Well made, durable material. Lid closure easy to use and looks neat and tidy on work surface. Easy to change bags and filter and easy to clean. No smell. Highly recommend.

Very happy with my purchased. This is the right size that I was looking for and it has a filter that it doesn't smell. its looks great in my worktop kitchen very nice especially the handle, well made looks, good quality, easy to used and lid easy open. I would highly recommend this product to other customers and I would buy this again.

I like this food bin. Looks smart & sturdy. Colour is pleasant & neutral. Easy to use, lid flips up easily & stays in place. Sits on my counter, & fits in fine. Handle is smart looking, My preference is to remove the full bags in side & take to the outside bin. Easy to carry if you like.

I used to use the mushroom boxes to collect bits for the compost but I was having to go and empty them up to three times a day. This is much better. It holds a good amount of vegetable waste and trips to the heap now happen once every other day. I have not used the Joseph Joseph bags, just the 10 litre compost bags from Tesco. Once I'd got the knack of fitting them tidily and gathering the excess to poke through the hole at the back, the cheapo bags work fine. I wanted a rectangular bin as I work on a butchers' trolley and was sweeping all the waste straight into the mushroom boxes with the back of my knife or a sponge. Old habits die hard and a few times I have tried holding the box in the same way, but the top rim that covers the bag edges comes off - with disastrous results as the rest of the box, and its contents, crashes to the floor. I am now sweeping onto a small chopping board and scraping that into the bin. The rectangular shape is good for that. The bin is a good squat shape, no chance of it toppling over. The lid stays up fine but I will not be putting this through the dishwasher just in case I end up with the same lid problems others have had. It's easy enough to wipe out and doesn't seem to get very dirty at all. I have found some condensation in the bin underneath the bag but that is easily wiped with a bit of kitchen roll. I have no complaints about the handle either. It seems fine. The charcoal filter works really. It holds in smells completely, even the obnoxious smell of banana skins stays inside. I did think that once this filter wore out I would cut a chunk of cooker hood filter to use instead but it works so well and seems to be lasting ok so I might splash out on the correct filters. Just for the sake of testing it thoroughly I have removed the filter and put it back. I struggled until I realised that you release the clip underneath and push up so the filter cover pops off the top. I find that I only need to push one clip and do not need to squeeze the two together. All in all, a well designed product that does the job extremely well.

Good sturdy food bin. Just line with a bag, and place in filter to stop smells. Looks neat on my counter top. Easy to clean.

Absolutely love this. Well worth the extra money. No smells from the food waste and more importantly it’s not soaking wet when you lift the bag out. Fruit flies are gone!

Got this to replace the ugly council bin we had before, and it's been such a great improvement. Not only does it look really smart and blends with the kitchen appliences, I also love the fact that the bag can be attached to the bin so it doesn't slip down. Really like the clever ventilation system to avoid condensation at the bottom and the odour filter (which is not exposed like many other bins I've seen). 10/10 !

Bought this to replace the mulfunction small step bin. Feel relief seeing the little caddy sits neatly on the narrow counter top. It means, no more bending over to discard unwanted produces and vegetables.

This is a great organics bin, I've had mine for about two months now and not one complaint. It cleans easy, bags are easy to switch out and there's a spot inside the bin where a new bag can be fastened so it stays put and doesn't move around on you. It comes with a small carbon filter which is very good for not letting any odours escape the unit. The lid fits tight and sturdy, the handle tucks away behind the unit and the whole thing looks neat and tidy on the countertop and is the perfect size for several days of food scraps (for two people at least, we cook a lot at home so we do use it constantly throughout the day). The lid stays up and out of the way nicely when you open it to throw the scraps in without closing on you unexpectedly. Mine is the charcoal color and looks great, and the design makes it easy to tuck out of the way and fit against the wall easily. I'm super happy with it overall!

Esthetique et efficace

Good material quality, small size convenient for small kitchens or close to the sink. Excellent filter and good blocking the smell of trash, easy to use and replace plastic bag, easy to wash and move.

This one is great, i really like it! Its easy to clean, and it looks good on the counter top. It doesnt smell either. I buy small bags from the store and they fit perfectly. No need to buy the expensive ones from the same brand. I can recommend this one.
