The Kitchen Compost Bucket provides a cheap and cheerful, yet odor free solution to the issue of storing kitchen waste and food scraps for composting. A large tall compost bucket can minimise trips to the compost bin significantly. Stored under a counter out of sight they incorporate charcoal filters so even a small family taking a week to fill the kitchen composter will have no problems.
Anyone who creates compost knows the benefit of adding kitchen scraps. Variety is the key to creating great compost after all. Reducing the food we waste by recycling via the compost bin makes a lot of sense. Even folks without gardens are using indoor composters or taking food waste to municipal compost centres, reducing waste and helping the environment.
