My husband and I are very happy with our decision to buy this compost pail. We didn't feel like we needed to get something with a filter - we wanted something attractive and simple. We haven't had any issues with odor, and the pail is large enough that we don't have to empty it every day. And it looks fabulous on our kitchen counter. We highly recommend this - you don't be disappointed!!
from amberson, pa on 11/25/2008
Beautiful and functional addition to my stainless steel kitchen decor. Portable and nice capacity. Easy toclean. Would highly recommend
from Sebastopol, California on 11/19/2008
We love this because the opening is large enough that we aren't spilling coffee grounds all over. Also our last bucket got a hole in it after only a few months, this one is much more sturdy. It's great!
from buena park, ca on 11/18/2008
love it. Matches kitchen fixtures and looks nice sitting on the counter. The bags work great with it. No more smelly containers or flys.
from Greenville, South Carolina on 11/18/2008
It is easy to clean, and not too big for the counter.
from Fulton, NY on 11/17/2008
We use this pail to collect our kitchen scraps and later take them to a compost pile. We looked at many different containers on line. This one is simple, attractive and holds a lot. We have had no problem with odor. The design is simple and has no breakable parts. It goes well with our kitchen appliances. The opening is wide. While cooking, we just place the container on the counter and throw the scraps in. Simple is best.
from Glastonbury, CT on 11/17/2008
This is very attractive on the counter. The size is right for a moderate amount of scarps but if you have a large family it would be too small.
It did develop a rust spot on the bottom where it was sitting in water. Not sure how much it will rust in the future.
from Philadelphia, PA on 11/14/2008
I have added much more to an existing compost bin since placing this is my kitchen. On the negative side, my husband needed to tap the pail to make it round and for it to accept the lid. In retrospect I would buy a product where the lid fits snugly. The lip on this lid is very shallow.
from Nashville, TN on 11/14/2008
An attractive stainless container on the cabinet.
Easily removed cover seals container until you're ready to empty it. Holds sufficient amount of material to compost. I use it daily!
Thanks
from Maine on 11/13/2008
Looked terrific in the kitchen. But it developed a small crack up the side within a couple of weeks. About another week and it developed a second crack, and the first crack had lengthened and widened to make it unusable. Weird because it doesn't have seams - the cracks just appeared in the metal.
from Enfield, NH on 11/13/2008
I bought this compost container for my mother-in-law's kitchen. She was using a saucepan to collect her scraps, and was delighted to receive this as a gift. It is sturdy, easy to handle and easy to clean. There is no residual odor after cleaning. I will order this container for my compost, too, after my old plastic container finally wears out.
from Indianapolis, IN on 11/13/2008
Looks great on the cabinet!
from Schuylkill Haven, Pa. on 11/13/2008
I'm very happy with this product. You do have to empty it several times a week, however. I drink a lot of coffee and at first I planned on emptying it only once a week and found mold forming on the coffee grounds. I keep it on the kitchen counter and it looks great!
from Palm Desert, CA on 11/12/2008
The lid doesn't fit snugly so it easily falls off if the bucket gets knocked over.
from Richmond, VA on 11/11/2008
We have a compost bin in the yard and live in a second floor apartment. Getting scraps from the kitchen to the bin has been an issue - this takes care of it perfectly, it holds a good amount of stuff, is easy to handle, easy to clean, and looks good on the counter with no smelly open mess.
from Colorado Springs, Colorado on 11/11/2008
Just getting started on this compost project; this cannister fits in well in the kitchen and there is absolutely no smell when the cover is on!
from Indianapolis on 11/11/2008
I love this Stainless Steel Compost Pail! It is attactive enough to sit on my countertop so that it make cleaning up easier. We empty it once a day and feel good about composting our scraps to benefit our soil.
from Washington, OK on 11/11/2008
gave as a gift to a friend
from NJ on 11/8/2008
This was a gift to my daughter who is very "green" and a new homeowner. She loves the bucket.
from Napa, CA. on 11/7/2008
A low cost and reasonably sized starter kitchen waste collector. Looks nice on counter and cleans easily.
from Maryland on 11/7/2008
In the realm of Unintended Uses, this is a great value in a milking pail for a small ruminant, in our case a goat. After nearly a year of use, and daily washing/decontamination in the dishwasher, the pail has no rust and only a little interior discoloration. The snug lid minimizes contamination of the bucket before and after milking. Another stainless steel pail -- sold by a dairy supplier -- suffers by comparison, and we just bought a second of these socalled compost pails. For all the same reasons, it probably makes a great compost pail (our brass compost pail is greening, and hard to clean), but consider other uses for bug-resistant and rodent-proof food storage.
from Peoria, AZ on 11/6/2008
We put all of our kitchen vegetable/fruit waste in the bucket and there is no odor whatsoever. The bucket is attractive and looks good on the counter.
from Carrollton, VA on 11/6/2008
After looking at many different compost pails and reading consumer comments, I decided to give this one a try. A few people mentioned that the lid does not have an air-tight seal, but we line the pail with biodegradable bags (for ease of disposal and quick clean-up) and have found these to aid in a snug fit. There is no detectable odor, and having struggled with ill-fitting screw-top lids on gallon size pickle jars for years, it's such a pleasure to just lift the lid for disposal of coffee grounds, banana peels, vegetable parings, etc. I like the large capacity, which minimizes the number of trips to our compost pile at the bottom of a hill, and it fits neatly in the cabinet under the sink.
from Rio Rancho,NM on 11/6/2008
This little pail works great, it doesn't smell ands looks nice on the kitchen counter. Even my husband likes it, which is very unusual. It doesn't stink even if it is full and you forget to take it out for a few days.
from Morristown, TN on 11/6/2008
This is the perfect compost pail. It fits on the kitchen counter nicely and fits in with the rest of the decor. It holds a lot of compost with no smell and is manufactured solid. I look for it lasting many many years.
from Pittsburgh on 11/6/2008
I love the compost bucket--it sits right on my kitchen counter and nothing smells.
from Oklahoma City on 11/6/2008
My bucket sits next to the sink and gets filled up once a day. It actually matches the sink hardware and I like that it is unbreakable. No odor problems at all and easy to clean. I'm getting my mom one for Christmas.
from Brandon, FL on 11/6/2008
The pail is used to collect ecological waste products to carry to our compost which is located in the backyard. Perfect for transferring from house to compost.
from Baldwinsville, NY on 11/6/2008
Perfect size for the kitchen, easy to use, easy to clean, is odor free, and it keeps fruit flies out. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and wish I had ordered it sooner!
from Boothbay Harbor, Maine on 11/5/2008
The pail fits nicely under the sink, and is great on the counter as I prepare veggies for dinner.
from Roseville, CA on 11/4/2008
I use the stainless steel compost pail daily to temporarily store compostable kitchen wastes. It's the perfect size for my kitchen.
from Frankfort, New york on 11/4/2008
I keep this pail on my counter. The smooth exterior does not harm the surface of the counter like a ceramic pot. It is lightweight and easy to keep clean. It holds about one days kitchen scraps. The handle makes it easy to take outside to the compost receptacle.
from Seattle, WA on 11/4/2008
I wanted something easy & smell-free for food waste that could be recycled/composted. This is great. It is attractive, keeps the smell in & is very easy to clean. It is the perfect size for our kitchen counter.
from Elizabeth, IN on 11/3/2008
This compost pail is very easy to clean & looks great. It also has a good capacity. The only downfall is that there is no seal around the lid, so odors can easily escape.
from Ohio on 11/3/2008
This kitchen compost pail is wonderful! It looks attractive on the countertop, holds a great deal of scraps, and there are no odors even after several days -doesn't need a special filter either.
from Mystic, CT on 11/3/2008
This is a good size and complements my stainless kitchen by almost disappearing on the counter.
from Virginia on 10/31/2008
This is my second kitchen compost container. I first purchased a crock syle with charcoal filters. It was very expensive and stinky. I gave it away. I took a chance on this because of the great price. This looks great, cleans very easily and does not smell -even with up to 4 days of scraps. No need for bags or filters. I'm so pleased with it.
from Cross River, NY 10518 on 10/30/2008
It is attractive and efficient. Fits well in my second sink or under the sink.
from Milford, CT on 10/29/2008
I wish it was a little smaller to fit conveniently on my counter. It is larger than I need because I just use it to keep my kitchen scraps in, until I can't dump it in my compost pile. I suppose if I had a family, it would fill up faster. I like the fact that I'm not putting the scraps in a plastic bag, that causes an odor. The scraps don't smell in this pail and the stainless steel is easy to rinse out and clean.
from Helena, MT on 10/28/2008
The compost pail is perfect for my use - the kitchen. It is attractive enough to leave out which is really convenient when I'm cooking.
from Pittsburgh, PA on 10/27/2008
It fits easily under the sink and can be picked up safely by the handle. No odors escape!
from Madison, WI on 10/27/2008
I love this compost pail so much I even bought one for my mom! I was a little worried about it not having a filter but I haven't had a problem with odor at all. I store this on my kitchen counter and only need to take it out to my main compost bin once or twice a week.
from Lake Oswego OR on 10/24/2008
Perfect size for our household (in average 4persons). Looks good on counter, needs cleaning outside a lot, but easy to do.
from Silver Spring, MD on 10/21/2008
Given as a gift. Recipients said. "I can't believe we used that old plastic container all these years. This one is so much more attractive and user friendly. We love it.
from Cambridge MA on 10/21/2008
Looks good on my kitchen counter. Lid fits tightly so that no fruit flies can get in. I don't have to worry that I will knock it over and break it (as I did my compost crock).
from Riverside, CA on 10/18/2008
This pail is easy to clean and store.
from St. Charles, IL on 10/17/2008
Very attractive and well made. It is the right size and is working out very well.
from Dallas, Texas on 10/17/2008
This compost pail is easy to use, looks neat and clean on the kitchen counter and the lid closes tightly keeping unwanted odors inside.
from Fountain, Fl on 10/17/2008
we are on a septic system, so this is our kitchen garbage disposal, it is emptied every couple days & scraps are fed to the chickens, you know they eat everything, AND we have the most yummy organic eggs.
from Knoxville, TN on 10/16/2008
I used this compost pail to replace a plastic bucket with a tight lid that required both hands to open and close it fully. This one is great--you only need one hand to lift the lid, fruit flies have not been a problem at all, and no smells emanate from the closed pail. It's large but not too large, attractive, and very easy to empty and clean.
from Michigan on 10/16/2008
We use it to collect kitchen waste and then periodically add it to our existing compost pile.
from Wolfeboro, NH on 10/15/2008
I just think this brushed stainless steel compost pail is the right size, easy to handle but holds quite a bit, is easy to clean and very easy to empty. The price is right too.
from Newhall, California on 10/15/2008
I have this in the cabinet underneath the sink. It keeps the odors from the kitchen scraps contained.
from binghamton, NY on 10/14/2008
The best compost bucket ever. Attractive enough to put right on the counter.
from Exeter, NH on 10/14/2008
For a container that holds kitchen scraps it is attractive looking enough for us to leave it out in the open on our counter top, instead of hiding it under the sink and out of the way. It matches our stainless steel kitchen quite nicely and having out on the counter, makes it more accessible and we use it throught the day.
from Fallbrook, CA on 10/13/2008
I purchased two in order to solve two separate problems. 1) The need to easily accumulate kitchen scraps. 2) The problem of accumulating material that should not go into ordinary waste cans around the house because of obnoxius odors.
The two problems were solved by the tight fitting lids of the pails and have saved a lot of fussing and fuming over composting and sanitation.
from Denver CO on 10/13/2008
The best compost pail my kitchen has ever seen.
from No. Hollywood on 10/13/2008

Dish washer just a snap.

100% satisfaction
from Concord, Ca. on 10/11/2008
We needed a small container by the sink so we didn't have to trek out to the compost bin every time our small bowl got full. This solved that dilemma!
from Millville, MA on 10/9/2008
My daughter is slow to empty a bowl on her counter, then it overflows, so this is the best solution and it's attractive, too.
from Durham, ME on 10/9/2008
This is a replacement item that lives at the kitchen sink. It is filled several times a week. It is convenient,well made, we have not been bothered by odors, it is exactly what we wanted.
from Northampton, MA on 10/9/2008
This compost pail is both functional and attractive. It holds a sizable amount of scraps odor-free and rinses clean easily. The brushed finish blends nicely with our sink and appliances. Highly recommend!
from Miami, FL on 10/9/2008
I just started worm composting and needed something to hold my kitchen scraps in. This is just what I was looking for. It is nice enought to sit out on my counter and I can still put it in my diswasher between uses. I empty it about once a week. It holds the smells in very well. I even went away for a week, forgetting to empty the pail before I left, and there was no smell in my house when I returned. I think that the price is right and the product is wonderful.
from Nashville TN on 10/8/2008
Using vegetable waste to improve my garden rather than putting it in the landfill is a win-win, my garden is improved and the landfill is a little less full.
The stainless steel is durable, easy to clean and attractive and will last a lifetime.
It makes a wonderful gift.
Thanks for supplying a superior product.
from New York on 10/8/2008
This compost pail is the perfect size for the counter top. It is attractive and functional.
from PALM HARBOR, FL on 10/7/2008
EVERY BIT OF KITCHEN WASTE THAT IS NOT MEAT GOES INTO THIS CONTAINER. IT'S BETTER THAN A PLASTIC MODEL WITH CHARCOAL FILTER THAT I USED PREVIOUSLY, WHICH ALLOWED FRUIT FLIES TO ENTER AND LAY EGGS!
from Ashburn, Va on 10/7/2008
We set it up in the kitchen and put all our scraps in it - including coffee grounds. Once a week we just toss the bag into the composter and away it goes. Its easy and non-obtrusive in the kitchen - will fit in the refig if necessary
from Corunna, MI on 10/7/2008
I use this product everyday. I have used other compost pails and they retain the odors and stain. The only thing that I would change about it--it should be a little larger.
from Kewaskum, WI on 10/7/2008
I really like how easy this is to clean-even in the dishwasher!
from Thornhurst, PA on 10/6/2008
Looks good, ample capacity, easy to clean. Haven't noticed any odors. It really simplifies kitchen cleanup after meal preparation. It's easy to toss the parings into the pail, and transfer the contents to the outdoor compost pile every now and then. It's very satisfying to know all that good organic stuff isn't going to waste in a bag in a landfill!
