Know before you buy
Yes, the lid is equipped with a charcoal filter specifically designed to trap and neutralize food odors, keeping your kitchen smelling fresh even when the bin is full.
While the lifespan depends on the types of scraps you compost, we recommend replacing the filter every 3 to 6 months to maintain optimal odor control.
To preserve the matte finish and the integrity of the stainless steel, we recommend hand-washing the bin with warm, soapy water rather than using a dishwasher.
No, this bin is designed for temporary storage of organic scraps before you transfer them to an outdoor compost pile or a municipal collection site. It is not intended for the full decomposition process.
The bin is designed to be plastic-free and can be used without liners. However, if you prefer to use them for easier cleanup, you can use compostable bags that fit the 1.7-gallon capacity.
