Know before you buy
The lid features an integrated carbon filter that traps moisture and neutralizes unpleasant smells from the waste compartments. Depending on your usage, we recommend replacing the filter every three months to maintain its effectiveness.
While the unit is designed to work perfectly with Joseph Joseph custom-fit liners, you can use standard bags. The removable buckets feature integrated bag hooks that help keep any liner securely in place.
The 3L food waste caddy is removable, allowing you to place it on your countertop while prepping meals. Once you are finished, it fits neatly into the top compartment or can be stored inside the unit.
The unit has a footprint of 14.4 inches wide by 15.6 inches deep. Its vertical design is specifically engineered to provide 60 liters of capacity while taking up roughly the same amount of floor space as a standard kitchen trash can.
Yes, both 30-liter compartments are fully removable. They are made from durable polypropylene, which can be easily wiped down with warm soapy water or a mild disinfectant.
The lid is designed to open manually and does not feature a stay-open hinge. It is balanced to provide easy access to both compartments while remaining lightweight enough for quick, one-handed operation.
