Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Really enjoy my trips to the compost pile. The copper pail holds a lot of stuff. I know the copper on the inside will deteriorate quickly because I don't use a liner, but I'm sure it will keep looking great on the outside. Like the way the lid sits tight on the pale - maybe fewer fruit flies this summer.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It is as beautiful in person as in the picture. It holds approximately one week of kitchen scraps for our family of four. As we are "hole" composting in an area being readied for raised beds, it is the perfect size for my son to practice his two-foot hole digging skills! Thanks for selling great products.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Just the right size for my kitchen. Holds about 5-7 days worth of scraps without odor. I use the biobag with it, which makes the trip to the compositor even easier. Pleased with quality of product. Nice and sturdy.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
As the mother of 5 children, I collect a large amount of kitchen scraps. I had been collecting them in a plastic kitchen container, but the lid was difficult to remove one-handed and it was unattractive on the countertop. This copper pail arrived in the mail and I was thrilled! It is a good size; large enough to fit all my daily scraps, but small enough to fit nicely under the cabinets. The lid is easy to remove with one hand and fits well enough that there is no odor. Great product!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The copper complements my kitchen. Easy to carry out by the handle.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
i just started composting and i really wanted a nice looking pail to put my kitchin scraps in. I have been looking for a few weeks now and this pail is the prettiest i have found. Once i got it i fell in love. It looks great, easy to clean, removing compost is easy, no assembly required and the lid is heavy enough to keep oders from escaping! Love my pail!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Bought the bio-bags, but also use the bags from the produce department at the grocery store. I like the size of this composter. Not so small as to be constantly emptying it, but not so large as to smell up the kitchen. Have not seen any fruit flies either.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
After breaking two crockery lids in the past, we decided to try this non-breakable one. It is not only more attractive and lighter weight, but it is also quite a bit larger. We are very happy with it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I love how this copper compost pail looks on my kitchen counter. It is very attractive, holds a lot and there are no worries about breaking it. The handle makes it so portable. I even think it would be great for other uses such as an ice bucket or wine cooler!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks great and doesn't hold odors.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The pail sits in my kitchen and is not only beautiful to look at, but perfect for my needs, ie to carry my compost scraps to the green bin. The capacity is perfect so that I can take it out every other day, and it's not so big that it gets too heavy. I cut a paper towel into quarters and leave one in the bottom which makes it very easy to keep clean.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I gave this as a gift to my son and his wife. They love it! It has replaced a clear plastic tub sitting on the kitchen counter which they used for collecting kitchen scraps. This holds more, looks incredibly attractive and doesn't smell! The fact that it is unbreakable is a great plus. My son can tap it against his compost bin in the backyard without worry of it breaking. And his two-year-old can carry it without fear of any injury.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
No one will know it is a compost bucket until the lid is lifted! Beats the plastic ice cream bucket that needed to be hidden from sight. Very convenient to leave on counter to use when needed.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail is beautiful on my kitchen counter, large enough to hold lots of stuff and easy to carry out to my composter, even on a walker with a foot in a cast. I can just rinse it out and it's ready to use again.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I upgraded from 32-oz yogurt tub to this one. Love the capacity. The inside finish spotted and darkened with use. I'm looking for used beverage cup big enough to use as liner. Otherwise, I love this pail. It looks great in our kitchen, especially with our copper sink. The price is great too. Would recommend highly!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Great looking compost pail. Goes with my kitchen great!

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This initially attractive, large capacity kitchen composter oxidizes way too quickly (particularly considering that it's not real copper) is NOT dishwasher-safe at all stains heavily on the inside. The cheap metal deteriorates and pits, the finish comes off and unless you are okay with that in the design of your kitchen, would be a very poor choice. There are no aeration holes for true decomposition in this container. Overall, the only plus is the large capacity. Any copper container with a loose fitting lid would work just as well though. The composter on the left has been run through the dishwasher; the composter on the right has not. Both are less than a year old.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It looks great on my kitchen counter. I don't mind having it there and being seen. While it doesn't have anything for the odors, that hasn't been a problem for me. I haven't used the bags yet because I don't have my composter yet and I'm sure they'd melt in my garbage can so I'm using brown plastic bags which work great.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We have a vegetable garden in the backyard and my son uses the compost to strengthen the soil in the garden. He uses the coffee grinds to mix in directly in the soil. The product is just the right size for the kitchen counter and is attractive. It has no odor and is easy to clean.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It's attractive so I could put it on the kitchen counter where it would be handy.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
When we had to replace our old indoor compost container, I saw this one and coveted it but didn't buy it because it was $10 more than the others. When I went back to purchase, it was marked down. Yippee!
I love the warm appearance of the hammered copper and was pleasantly surprised to find it holds more than our old one too.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We use the pail for kitchen waste and fertilizer production...holds a good amount, is attractive on the kitchen island.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This sits in my kitchen window in front of the sink and looks perfectly in place.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
What I love about this pail is that the lid lifts easily with one finger---you don't have to use 2 hands! I use one pail for compost and another as a convenient sink-side garbage pail. Plastic bags that fruits and veggies are bought in fit just right. I have stainless in my kitchen, but the copper looks cool!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Only thing I would change would be to add a wire loop which the top of the bag could be folded back over in order to hold the bag open and in place. Otherwise, nice appearance, well-fitting lid, no odor problems - very happy with the purchase!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I waited a long time to purchase this compost pail. Besides being very attractive, it saves a trip to the compost pile every day. I love it and know that you won't be dissatisfied if you purchase it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This product virtually eliminates everything negative about composting kitchen waste. I asked for a nice looking countertop compost for my birthday a few years ago, and my mother had seen one of these at a friend's house and bought it for me. My sister, who comes over a lot, fell in love with it, and asked for one for HER birthday. My mother moved a year later, and had to leave her "in drawer" kitchen composter, so she asked for one for HER birthday. We all still adore our copper compost pails. It's a wonderful gift, a wonderful product- so well designed, beautiful and not smelly at all. It makes composting a joy.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I first looked locally for a countertop compost that would fit my needs but after not finding what I was looking for I decided to look online. Even online I noticed that everything I found was either: A) cute but not large enough or B) had enough room but looked industrial. This is a beautiful piece that will work well if you create a lot of compost. It is also easy to clean - I just spray it out in the sink with hot water every time I empty it and - so far so good - no odor!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I wanted a pail type container to hold our compost until we could take it to the compost pile. The copper is absolutely perfect for my kitchen. But the part I like best is that it's not a breakable pottery and carries just like a pail making it quite easy. It holds quite a bit and is perfect for us.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail is absolutely beautiful. I love the shape of it. It's wider at the top than the bottom so it's no problem getting a full bag out of it. It looks beautiful in our kitchen.

The pail is a beautiful countertop addition. Please make CLEAR liner bags that will not cover up the copper finish of the pail.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We were given one as a present. We liked it enough to give another one as a gift.
People who complain about the smell should empty the bucket. It is not for making compost in the house.
The finish is a thin plating of copper. You cannot expect the inside to stay pristine. It is a compost bucket after all, not a dining room decoration. Just don't use steel wool to clean.
Good size. Lid fits, not an airtight seal. But when it smells, empty it. How lazy can you get?
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
A sophisticated way to hide kitchen scraps, and it is very pretty to look at. Took the advice of other reviewers and got biobags to line it in case it leaks (haven't had that problem yet), but that just makes it easier since I don't have to rinse the container.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail looks beautiful sitting on my counter by my kitchen sink. It has a large capacity and I don't smell a thing!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Replaces a pail that did not match with copper hiughlights in kitchen; with bio-bags composting is much less messy.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Just love this. Got lots of compliments from this item. During the holidays people saw this on the counter and just loved how it looked. Just beautiful.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The brass container is very attractive in the kitchen. also it is strudy, outlasting previous plasic and ceramic compost pails.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I got this for my aunt and she loves it. She wasn't interested in composting before but this attractive container has facilitated her enjoyment of it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought this for my mother who collects kitchen scraps to discard. She was formerly using an old car wash bucket with a frisbee sitting on top. This new bucket jazzed up her kitchen and looks very classy.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Collect kitchen organic scraps and tote to outdoor compost pile.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I gave this to my sister who had just remodeled her kitchen. Her old pail was open and unsightly. She was thrilled with this new one, but at first thought it was for some other use, as it was just too lovely! Now she has the best dressed kitchen scraps in town!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought this product for my mother so that she would stop using assorted plastic bags to collect her compost before taking it outside. Your attractive pail and the biodegradable liners have done the trick...her kitchen is now neat and odor free!

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This product has a perfect capacity for kitchen wastes. It sits on my counter near the sink and looks good as well as serving a GREEN purpose. My husband loves it as he has a place to put eggshells and coffee grinds every morning. No more leaving them somewhere on the counter until I get a chance to throw them in the compost pile!
Plus it's easy to clean, and does not hold an odor.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I was extremely pleased with this purchase. It fit in perfect with my rustic cabin kitchen. It trills me to pieces that I no longer will have to tolerate fruit flies buzzing around my sink.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Love the capacity. Unfortunately, the copper finish wears off very quickly, despite using only dish soap to clean it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Welcome addition to my counter top. I am quite fussy on what I put on my counters. Great use and looks great.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This was a great gift for my wife who just got into composting. Before we just collected compost in an open tupperware bowl that attracted many fruit flies and gave us an unappetizing odor. Now, with this container, no more fruit flies or foul smell. And the rustic style fits in well with our kitchen decor.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use my pail every day with a wide variety of scraps, coffee grounds, etc. It really gets a work out. I love how well it is made and how heavy duty it is. I don't have to worry about breaking or damaging it. It looks classy (much nicer than the plastic ice cream container I used to use.)and is a great product. It would be nice to have a hard, thin plastic liner to go in it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
After a 18 months, our pail began to leak. And what a mess that is. We didn't even run it through the dishwasher which would likely weaken the seal.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a nice looking compost pail that fits the style of our kitchen well. There are over-priced "one-size-fits-all" compostable liner bags available, but we are lining it with used produce bags instead. They are a perfect fit, free, and now get used twice rather than once.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The Copper Finish Compost Pail sits on a black granite countertop in a genuine log cabin and looks so beautiful that new guests recognize this new addition to the kitchen and invariably express compliments. The pail's depth is more than adequate to accept the residuals of the most heavily trimmed vegetables. I've broken several ceramic compost containers while delivering trimmings and coffee grounds to the garden compost during winter months. This pail is not only made to last, it is beautiful as well as efficient.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks beautiful on the kitchen counter, doesn't smell, holds a lot, no need to run to the compost pile everyday! This is my third purchase----they make great gifts and both people I have purchased them for love them!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I have this on my kitchen counter next to my sink it looks so beautiful. Great quality.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I love the the look and how it works. It needs some kind of filter to elimanate the order like other kitchen compost.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We like it, we like it. It's durable and attractive.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use it to put in scraps from around the kitchen before taking them out to the compost container. It looks great on the counter. [...]
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail matches the decor of the kitchen, it is a nice touch. No one realizes what its use is.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I had read reviews about leaking and smells and yes, you should empty it every two to three days and at least occasionally wash - or at least rinse - it out, but it's the best looking compost pail/holder I've seen! It is losing some copper color from the inside bottom so I wish there was more protection there, but it really is a good looking piece and feels pretty solid.
I've only had it about a month so "time will tell, but for now, it looks like a good investment and still looks good!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It is strictly used as the bucket to collect the food recyling product in my kitchen
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I have had many types of compost pails over the years both plain pails and fancier ones with odor filters. All have been relatively easy to clean and attractive, but all have had disadvantages as well. I wanted a larger capacity pail to use with biobags. Metal pails are lighter and less likely to hold odors. This one is attractive and simple and should be easy to clean. We'll see how to holds up over time.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks beautiful. It is supposed to be dishwasher-safe and keep its copper finish. I loved it until it started to smell and I had to put it in the dishwasher. The finish was not as pretty as before and it leaks - making it unusable after only a year or so. I'm very disappointed. It looked great in my kitchen and was easy to to use and very handy to have when cooking.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Great looks and size. I use the eco bags which work great.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use this pail to take my kitchen scraps to my large composter in the backyard. Before I was using a plastic plate which held little and scraps were falling on the floor. This pail, although on the heavy side, is large enough for lots of scraps and keeps them hidden until it's time to empty the pail. It's easy to keep clean as well. I also like the attractive design and finish.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Great for hauling kitchen waste out to the chickens.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a wonderful compost pail. Looks great on the counter and the size is perfect.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a beautiful compost bin for the kitchen counter. The only downside is it doesn't aerate. However, I didn't want to have to change a filter, so I went with this one. Good choice. I'm very happy with it.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
years ago, i purchased a solid copper bucket from here. recently, we decided to add a 2nd bucket to our kitchen for chicken scraps so i came here and purchased this bucket, noticing it was different but thought it would be ok.
well, about a month later, the finish is rubbing off. what happened to the promise "Copper finish will keep its shine and color over time"?! if i'd have wanted a stainless steel bucket, i would have purchased one elsewhere for a lot less. what a rip off! same price as before, but now without quality.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This looks gorgeous when you take it out of the box, and no one would believe it's a compost pail. It looks more like a lovely, expensive ice bucket. But over a few months, the copper coating begins to deteriorate and come off, so that you're left with a mottled silver, green, and brown mess. Mine also leaks all over the kitchen counter, and draws ants (which a simple closed Cool Whip bowl full of scraps does not). I would not recommend.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a good pail and the size is perfect for our family. However, this is not copper metal. It is copper finish. The compost will react with the metal finish and the metal and will emit a smell especially if you leave it sit. You should definitively use compostable bags with this pail. I also purchased some odor disks to put in the bottom of the pail. That also keeps the odor down. Overall a good unit with precautions.

even though I had a problem with my pail the company stood behind their product and sent me a new pail to replace the defected one. buy from this company with confidence.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We compost all natural scraps and I could never, ever get my husband to put the ugly tuperware container in a cupboard. We have copper accents so this is a perfect compliment to kitchen. We empty this whenever it gets full, which is maybe every other day so there is no real composting going on. We've had no odor problems, no leaking, no real deteriation. The inside finish is now starting to wear but its over a year old so I expect that. All in all - we love it.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought 2 of these. While the compost does not smell with the lid on, the clean pail smells with the lid off, even when it has gone through the dishwasher 3 times. They both got holes in them after only a few months of use. Now they leak compost juice all over the counter. I am still using them with a plate under them, but what a pain! The handle on one has lost paint in places and is rusty.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
After a month or so, the paint inside the pail started peeling and after several months the bottom rusted out and started leaking. It is a very attractive compost pail, but with a short life span.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use the compost pail on my kitchen counter near the sink. We put all of our compostable kitchen waste in it and take it out to the compost pile almost daily. I think the people having trouble with it are either not emptying it frequently enough or they are actually trying to compost in it. I don't think that is what it is intended for. I really like the compost pail. It is exactly what I wanted. The only thing wrong with it is that the paint on the inside is peeling off. That obviously doesn't harm the way it looks but I don't want paint in my compost.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This was an upgrade from the ceramic crock I've used for years. It's pretty and is easier to clean than the ceramic crock, and the lid is easier to handle. The liners work well in this little bucket. But what I like best is how nice it looks on my counter.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I was surprised by the quality. It looks great sitting on the kitchen counter.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I was pleasantly surprised at how well made this little copper pot is. It looks attractive on my counter and is small enough so that it doesn't take up too much space but large enough to contain just enough scraps before they start to smell up the kitchen. My neighbor saw it and ordered one as well. [...]
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a beautiful item - pretty enough to sit on the kitchen counter, sturdy construction, and effective enough the take care of our household composting needs. Wonderful. I highly recommend it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
After breaking the lid on my ceramic compost pail three times, I decided it might be less expensive to buy a non-breakable compost pail rather than keep buying new lids. Now I'm grateful I was so clumsy. This bucket looks great, actually has a wider mouth than the old pail, and the handle maneuvers up and down much easier than the old one.
It's a win-win-win-win.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The moment I took this copper kitchen compost bucket from the box, I knew it was just right for us. It is solid, well made, the size is just perfect for our smaller kitchen, and the large handle makes it fun to carry to our compost drum outside. Worth the investment; cleans up easily, too.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We bought this pail because it's attractive enough to leave on the counter, so we use it constantly. It is just big enough to hold a few days worth of compost, so it doesn't start to smell. I am so happy with it! I wasn't sure it would be worth the extra cost to get the copper, but it surely has been worth it. I am very happy with this compost pail!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I love taking my handy copper bucket down to the pile of maneur. It seems to balance everything out
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is really the most attractive kitchen compost crock I've ever seen. I've been using compostable bags inside so that when I throw my kitchen scraps in it, they aren't sticking or anything. I wish it wasn't so big... but I can't fault the product for the fact that *I* didn't read and consider the dimensions!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
very attractive and fits in well with kitchen interior; good capacity
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The reviews about the leaks are correct. It looks good but after a while it develops holes in the bottom and leaks all over the counter.
Had to throw it out.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Though beautiful with great capacity, it really isn't durable enough for composting. The bottom has several holes and the pail leaks all over the counter. For those who really compost regularly, this isn't for you.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I purchased this to add decor to my kitchen. I do compost all my kitchen scraps, but this copper pail was the perfect accent, since I have copper accents in my kitchen.
Beautiful and functional!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I have used this product for about 3 weeks. It is just the right size for our 4 person family. We empty the container every 4-5 days. We have had no problems with odors. It is attractive sitting on the counter next to the sink.

Matches our kitchen perfectly. Very fine quality. Lid hides the ugliness of what is contained in the compost bucket before taking outside to the large compost heap. Holds a convenient amount.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought the copper composting pail as a wonderful and decorative addition to our kitchen. Our pail now has three holes in the bottom and does not work as effectively. I was disappointed in this fact and now have to buy another pail to do the work of this one.
I strongly suggest getting these decorative pails for use in your kitchen, but go for the crock or a stainless one that will last longer.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This high quality pail and nicely fitting lid are an elegant way to handle kitchen waste between trips to the compost pile. I liked mine so much that I bought one for a friend.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Bought for kitchen counter as gift. Much nicer than the one we use! Nice fitting lid, really attractive.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought this as a gift to my son and daughter in law as he started a compost pile a year and 1/2 ago and they were keeping their kitchen scraps in a plastic cottage cheese container until taken to the compost. So, I thought they could really use this and since she likes pretty things in her kitchen but is very particular and has classy good taste she would like this. They both seemed to like it really well and my son says it is very functional and easy to use. Even though the lid does not lock in place it fits very tight and well and no odor noted at all he says. I thought it was very beautiful for her and functional for him as it won't break on trips he takes to the compost like a ceramic one would. It would also make a nice ice bucket for wine or a holder for kindling at a fireplace and look good.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
After trying several different kinds, I bought the copper compost pail for myself years ago. Besides being attractive it never has an odor or any bugs. Both my sister and daughter now have the same pail because they were so impressed with mine.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Unit holds more than the other pail, so feweer trips to the composter!!! Despite the hammered finish it empties the contents almost completely every time. The lid does a better job of containing any odors.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The pail is attractive enough to sit on the kitchen counter as a color accent. It has a generous capacity and contains odors.

I have exchanged this pail 3 times - the first time it started tarnishing within a month so I exchanged it for a new one,. which was tarnished on arrival so I requested another exchange. When I got the 3rd one, I sprayed it with a clear varnish inside and out. I thought I had the corrosion fixed until it started leaking all over the counter 4 months later - the bottom had corroded all the way through in one place. [...]
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We bought this bucket to replace the cobalt blue ceramic one we also purchased from Gardeners Supply. (It was chipped on the bottom and lid from daily use.) This has much lighter weight and greater capacity, so trips to the composter are less frequent. We have not had the peeling the other reviewers have reported so far. I have not seen any faults with this product at all.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The kitchen scrap compost pail is so attractive, it adds to my countertop decor. But it's not just attractive, it's very functional, holding lots of scraps awaiting the trip to the compost pile, with a good lid that keeps the odors contained.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It gives a lovely Tuscon touch to my new kitchen, has good capacity, and saves our septic system. I love it!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Attractive countertop compost pail. Just the right size, well-made, no ridges or crevices for old compost to hide in.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This model works much better than the last version I'd purchased. The bags are easy to remove (as they got stuck in the old model . ..since the top was more narrow than the belly of the crock). This style is easier to load (wide top) and unload. I would highly recommend it for kitchen use.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This was a gift. My friends love it.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought this a few years back. It looks nice on the counter but I don't store my compost on the kitchen counter. I have a large garden and because of that generate a lot of compost. I found I was emptying this every day, sometimes every meal. After a few months usage the interior started to corrode, doesn't take fruit scraps very well. I also didn't like the lid since it didn't fit tightly and attracts fruit flies. To be honest, I put this in a garage sale and am perfectly happy with plastic Ice cream buckets, they store a lot, the lid fits tightly, goes in the dishwasher, are free, and when they break I can recycle them. I store the bucket under the sink so I don't care what it looks like. I compost in a large 3 bin compost bin which has yard, garden and kitchen scraps.

Was a little skeptical with no odor filter, but the copper doesn't retain odor. We use this for kitchen waste mostly, we generate a lot and only have to empty it once a week. Washes clean with water. Sits right on our counter and looks great.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is not so bulky that it takes up half my space. Love the look and blends with the rest of kitchen counter things.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I love this! Before I used plastic yogurt tubs for my kitchen waste but they were unattractive looking, attracted to fruit flies, could get a little smelly.
With this Copper Compost Pail the fruit flies are GONE (thanks to the lid), it is attractive on my counter, and is a cinch to clean. For added ease, I line it with the compostable bags also available at Gardeners Supply!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I was thrilled when this item arrived in the mail... this attractive pail blends in with any decor, and no one would guess your kitchen scraps are inside! It also has the added benefit of being larger than most compost pails on the market, without being too big... the only down side to any compost pail? Eventually it has to be emptied!

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail is worth the money. It's very attractive, holds a good amount of kitchen scraps and the lid keeps odors in the pail. It is very sturdy but not heavy and the handle makes it easy to carry.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We use on our kitchen counter, and find the size just right for a couple to fill in three to four days, before odor becomes an issue. Then easily taken to our garden compost pile. We think it very handsome, requiring little counter space.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought this as a gift for my husband, after 14 days of use one of the rivets on the handle is already coming out. Now to decide if I want to fix the rivet or pay to have it shipped back for exchange. I didn't think that would happen after only 2 weeks. This looks great in my kitchen though, but does need something put beneath so it doesn't scrape your counter. The lid, even though it just sits on top, stays on tight and doesn't let any odors out. It holds quite a bit and is easy to dump out and clean. Other than the handle coming off I am pleased.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Our kitchen is a vineyard theme with copper accents so this looks much better than the plastic container we were using!! It's well worth the money and the lid keeps fruit flies from gathering....washes out easily.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Attractive enough to leave on kitchen counter and since it has a lid with no holes keeps odor in. We empty every other day or so but no one wants to smell onion or banana from yesterday.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This sits on my Kitchen counter next to the sink and helps recycle kitchen waste easily. Beats looking a a stained plastic cookie dough tub!!!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I highly recommend this compost pail especially if you have copper pots & pans or other copper accessories in your kitchen. This pail holds just the right amount of kitchen compost & the lid seals tight :) The bucket and lid handles are sturdy & decorative, too! The bucket rinses easily. Great Product!!!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This replaced two past ceramic compost pails, I kept breaking the lids. This looks nice and holds more, the one thing it lacks is a place for a filter.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use the pail to hold kitchen scraps before I take them to the composter. The pail is a nice size. I like the finish on the outside of the pail, but the inside finish is already peeling. Should have just gotten the stainless steel pail.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
No more bending and pulling the container out from under the sink.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Attractive product that sits of the kitchen cabinet for containment of compost scraps!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
When new it was attractive but the finish quickly wore off and now it looks like trash on the kitchen counter.[...]
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It is so nice looking you can leave it right on the counter, which makes it very convenient to use!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a high quality product that will hold up well over time.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a beautiful looking pail and I was so happy when it arrived about a year ago! However, my husband and I just began to notice a ring on our kitchen floor and have now noticed that the pail leaks. We empty it when the pail gets full, and there are times when coffee grounds from the french press go into the pail with a small amount of liquid. The pail is metal and shouldn't leak, so I'm very disappointed in it. Today I'm on line looking for a substitute since this pail is now in the garbage.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail is beautiful, odor free and holds quite a bit of scraps. I typically empty it every 4 days, and it doesn't smell in the mean time. I've received lots of compliments on the design - it looks great on the counter!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It looks great in the kitchen
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The only thing I dislike about this container is that it will retain odors, especially from onion scraps, etc. I plan to try it with the bio bags.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We purchased one of these pails from you a couple of years ago and needed a second one to provide extra capacity before taking out the scraps to the compost pile. The pail has an excellent capacity, but we just generate so much kitchen scrap that a second one was needed. The two best things about the product is it's sturdiness and ease to clean - squirt it out with the hose on the way in from the pile and its good to go!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Great for collecting kitchen waste and tossing it into the compost pile every few days. Looks nice and hasn't corroded. Don't bother with bags because it's easy to rinse out. The lid seats on the bucket well so smells and fruit flies have not been a problem. The only very minor complaint might be its somewhat overzealous, heavy duty handle (can be a bit noisy). There is some kind of clearcoat or nonstick-like finish on the metal that makes cleaning a breeze, so we'll see how it holds up over time.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I really liked the product, but after 8 months of use it's starting to leak onto my kitchen counter. I don't empty the pail on a regular basis, just when it's full... so water does seep out of the biobag liners onto the pail itself. Today when I emptied it, I noticed that the paint at the bottom of the inside of the pail has begun to bubble and peel. The only complaint I have about smell, would be a metallic odor left on my hands after emptying the pail.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I have this sitting right next to my kitchen sink and above the trash bin in my kitchen so when the children are scraping off their plates the scrapes go into the pail. I love the copper as my kitchen is highlighted with copper hood, etc. I am new at composting but hope to learn more with starting this in our household.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
a great way to not have to reach under the sink to take care of scraps. really attractive on the counter.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
just recently able to start composting; needed something to collect kitchen scraps in and wanted something that looked great and was a fair price. this satisfied everything. love the hammered copper.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I finally got to throw out that stinky plastic bucket I was using. Copper does not hold the order. I love it!!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Love the pail, The handle makes it easy to grab from the corner of my counter when I need to use it. The lid sits pretty tight, and I never smell the scraps! Looks great, easy to clean.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Doesn't need much counter space, but holds just the right amount of kitchen scraps for about a week. Really pretty, no smell.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Only complaint is that the pail leaves marks on my tile kitchen counter. Will have to get some sort of padding to put on the bottom. Other than that, it is perfect. We put a coffee liner in the bottom so it all comes out when we throw the kitchen scraps in the composter.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The cat knocked my pretty porcelain compost container off the kitchen counter. I like this one better, though.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I love how it looks in my kitchen and I keep it right by the sink so it is handy. Odor isn't usually a problem unless I have left it several days and really packed it in. My only gripe is that after about a year of use the copper finish is coming off inside and out in places.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I really love the pail but since there is no place to insert an odor filter it can build up an odor which makes me empty it sooner than I would like. But over all really love it, it looks very nice sitting on my counter.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks fine sitting on counter, nice capacity and sturdy.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I have used one of these before. I appreciate the ability to hide garbage for short periods of time. I guess there isn't much that can be done about the smell. Just change it more often. But it works very well.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I am new to composting but like this product very much and it is so convenient because it looks good enough to leave out on counter top.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Ity makes a beautiful ice bucket!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Even though we keep ours under the sink, it's looks good enough to keep out. Large enough for everyday use, while emptying it out about every 3 days.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Large capacity, lid keeps smell at bay and fruit flys away. Only have to empty once a day. Very sturdy.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The copper bucket is an attractive accessory on my counter!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Functional and roomy - holds lots of scraps. It is not too heavy and easy to carry to the compost pile. The attractive design looks great on my countertop amd I haven't had any problems with odor, bugs, or clean up. Great purchase!

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The copper finish came off almost immediately with the first washing. So much for long lasting and developing a nice patina with time. The "stainless steel" core is thin and cheap. Very quickly the seam along the bottom started to rust. Then the pail began to leak in multiple spots, along the bottom seam and randomly on the sides. Holding the pail up to the sunlight reveals dozens of pin holes. Coffee grounds, vegetable scraps and egg shells make great compost & worm food, but also make for a disgusting mess when it leaks from this pail all over your kitchen counter. This is a poorly made product that will soon disappoint. [...] ... I've bought lots of other things from Gardeners in the past. They were OK, but not stellar. Maybe someone else will offer better products with better service.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It was a gift to a friend. She loves it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail is almost too attractive to fill with scraps--I hate to hide it under the sink because it's gorgeous! It holds enough kitchen scraps from *at least* two days' worth of meals so I'm not constantly running out to empty it. The lids fits tightly, so there is no odor at all, and the handles are attached well and in no danger of falling off as with some other crocks I've seen. I also love the fact that it won't break if I drop it. This is simply a beautiful and well-made container, and it is definitely worth the price.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Very attractive near kitchen sink. Can be polished with copper cleaner if a shiny finish is desired.
Add water to pail to help quicker composting in a large outdoor composter.
Good size for daily food scrap collection with a sturdy handle to manage carrying the weight of the food scraps.
A very satisfied customer.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This was so beautiful on my countertop, that my 13 year old daughter commented, that she wished we had more classy items like this one in our house.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
My brother gave us a compost bin last holiday season, so I bought this kitchen container as an incentive to start composting by having something attractive with easy access in the kitchen rather than using a plastic tub or big coffee can. It's really beautiful--matches our copper sink--and the capacity is terrific, such that we only have to empty it once or twice/week (and we make a lot of kitchen scraps). Other reviewers complained a bit about the interior surface eroding, and while that hasn't happened yet (we've been using this for about a month now), even if it does, I think we'll still be happy with the purchase. The handle is sturdy too, which is nice, and so far the lid rests securely on the top and doesn't emit odor, my biggest concern about buying a pail without a filter. We are very pleased with this purchase!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It looks so nice on my counter. It's great with the bags - makes it easy to empty. Just give a little rinse and then dry before putting a bag in (cuts down on the mess).
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks great on my counter top!!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use this product everyday to collect scraps and coffee grounds (filter, too!) and add them all to my compost pile. This bucket looks great sitting on my enclosed back porch.....no one would know it has scraps in it unless they look inside! Great size, too.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is so attractive that I can leave it out on a counter and it just seems to be part of the kitchen.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The product is beautiful and works well. I keep it under my kitchen sink and empty the kitchen scrapes once a week. No fruit flies, no odor, is perfect. I also use the Biobag with it and makes it easy to lift out debris and put in compost bin.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks nice in the kitchen as it collects scraps
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
After having a plastic bucket that needed to be hid and had a constant "odor" this attractic pail sits attractively next to the sink without odor and is consistantly used.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost bin is attractive and well sized. I haven't had any fruit flies nor odor issues. We love it so far!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Getting my wife to live greener requires a product to look good #1, easy to use, and not smell. This pail fits.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail is very attractive, the right size for a family of 3-5, and seems quite durable. The lid does not fit tightly though; indeed it just "rests" atop the pail. So far it doesn't seem to be letting fruit flies in or odors out, but is not what I had expected. So a nice pail, but room for improvement.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail works great for what I need it to do. I empty it every other day or so, more if I cook a lot and less if we eat out. I haven't noticed any odor at all. It looks nice enough on the countertop - it's a little bigger than I thought. It's a nice balance of aesthetics and capacity though.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a very attractive Chinese-produced copper vessel that matches our hammered copper sink perfectly. Our last try at a compost pail was a ceramic product with a flaky handle that eventually was dropped and broke. This one is robustly built and does an excellent job. The only down side is it has no deodorizer in the top, and can get a little stinky if not emptied often.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Our family of 5 loves the look, capacity, and sturdiness of this pail. It is easy to use and clean! Highly recommend it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
My family just started composting this spring, so this is our first kitchen scrap collector (other than an ordinary bowl). I love the size of this pail. We can fit a few days worth of scraps in it before dumping it in to our composter. We haven't had any problems with odors even without a charcoal filter, although I would have preferred to have that option. I really like the finish and think it looks attractive on our kitchen counter.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
My copper compost pail looks a lot more attractive sitting on my kitchen counter than the used plastic milk jug!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Very attractive pail
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I chose this composter mostly for looks. Other composters did not match my kitchen. It has a nice weight to the handle and lid. The lid closes well around the top. So far I have only needed to rinse it out to clean it - it has been in use for several weeks. It still looks good inside and out.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I've recently bought this compost pail for my daughter because I've loved it myself. It's sturdy, easy to maintain and attractive. The bio bags are indispensable also.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is one of the most attractive kitchen compost pails out there, and a great size. I only use it as temporary storage, mainly for kitchen scraps, which I then dump in the main compost bin outside. You do need to clean it out every so often due to sludge/smell build-up. I haven't tried aerating it or composting in the house, so I can't speak to those aspects. But I love the size-- you can actually use it for a few days to a week in the kitchen before it fills up and you have to dump it outside.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It looks great on the counter. I'm hoping the top fits tight enough to prevent those obnoxious fruit flies which were not a problem with the container I had before. The handle design is a bit cumbersome on the counter, enlarges the footprint which it isn't needed. More to report as the summer approaches, but for now it seems well made and it's doing its job.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It's pretty, works great, no odor, lid fits solidly and well.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use this compost pail every day. The beautiful hammered copper finish allows me to keep it on my counter for easy access rather than hide it in a cabinet. The larger capacity keeps me from having to empty it as often and the snug fitting lid prevents odors from escaping. I love it!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Great for Kitchen scraps.
Can hold a large amount and the lid keeps the odors and insects at bay.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It's roomy and very attractive, I love it!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail looks attractive on the counter and is very sturdy. I don't have to worry about it breaking or denting when I empty it into the compost bin. Cleans easily and doesn't retain odors.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I would conditionally recommend this product. It is not advertised with a filter. It does need help with odor control. Even after washing although reduced the distinctive garbage odor was present.It looks good but...
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This was a gift for my daughter who has just started composting. It looks great in her kitchen. I can't wait until I can also replace my stainless compost bucket for this copper one.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I love this compost pail. It may not serve the same compost purpose as other bins, but it is very attractive and fits beautifully with the rest of my kitchen decor.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I love that I don't have to see or smell my kitchen scraps as they accumulate for composting.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail looks great on the counter and the lid has not allowed odors to be released. The finish somewhat discolors on the inside, but the outside still looks great, so I figured that was not a big deal. This pail holds a lot of kitchen scraps. I just love it!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I'm very happy with the quality of this compost pail. It appears to be very well made and is attractive as well. It is larger than I expected so it's a little too big to sit on the kitchen counter. The lid seals nicely to keep in the foul odors.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail has a beautiful, antique look and is a good size for the kitchen counter. It has a great handle for carrying out to the compost bin.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This copper pail is heavy-duty, well-designed and looks great! While this may sound silly, I admire the pail more and more every time I make the trip to the compost bin to empty it. I also bought the biodegradable bags to go with it, and they fit perfectly.
I was surprised at how much compostable waste we had been putting in our garbage or down the disposal before getting this pail. Odor hasn't been a problem, but we fill it almost every other day so it doesn't have much of a chance.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
My previous counter top container had openings in the lid that let the air be filtered. This allowed fruit flies and gnats to live and breed in the vegetable scraps. This beautiful container has a tight fitting lid and stays clean and insect free!
I have bought two for gifts because we love ours so much.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a very attractive and light weight container which seals well. There are no odors and it is easy to take to the worm bin outside.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
So far we love it. No odor in our sunroom since we started using the copper pail and the bags. We have two cats and two litter boxes so it has really changed how our sunroom smells. Thank you so much.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This product is so attractive and has a nice capacity so I'm not having to empty it so often. Looks great on the counter and even when it's full you don't smell any food odors. Love it. would definitely recommend this to anyone.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The bail handle is a bit bulky, but still in proportion to pail. Lit fits nicely. Great capacity. Sloped sides don't inhibit removal of full bio-bag (my previous pail required a wrestling match to remove a full bag). Light enough to carry to compost pile if needed.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Fits perfect w/ the "decor" (we have decorative copper pots... in the kitchen)- can sit out on the counter and it gets used daily. We filled one whole bio bag in less than a week.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use the copper bucket to keep kitchen scraps in before I put them in my compost pile. There's no odor and the copper is attractive. I have no complaints.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I already had a compost pail (plastic with the carbon filter from Gardners). I just purchased this because of it's look, I'm using it more for decorative purposes. It's very attractive and is a little larger than I though. Very nice piece.

Its a copper bucket with lid that looks nice.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks very attractive on the kitchen counter, while doing a wonderful job holding the kitchen scraps, etc.. No odors!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We love the look and capacity of this composter. There is no odor when it's filled. The only negative is that the interior finish started chipping and peeling off almost immediately. The exterior looks fine though after 2 months of constant wet-compost use though. I'd still recommend it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Holds lots of kitchen scraps and looks good on the counter --- has been admired by friends.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Besides the fact that it's a really nice-looking vessel, I like the fact that the lid fits snuggly, so I don't smell what's inside. It's a nice combination of form and function. I like it a lot.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This stainless steel container is wonderful. It surpasses the ceramic one we used to have. Easy clean up and large capacity means fewer trips to the compost pile.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I thought long and hard and compared many different counter top compst bins. This is great so far, it could be a little bigger,so I wouldn't have to empty it as often.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use this compost bucket every day, and store it under my counter. It is larger than my previous ceramic one and the lid is tight enough to be odor-free. It is really pretty and the handle is sturdy. I line it with recycled fruit and veggie bags, which makes it easy to dump the scraps into my outdoor composter. Then I throw the used bag away.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I bought the indoor composter and this copper container to put my scraps in until I am ready to add all of it to the composter. It works great and I have not noticed any odor from it.

Very attractive and useful product. All kitchen scraps go in basically as a holding area until they go out into the compost pile. Easy clean up. Great Product!

This is an attractive accessory in my kitchen which serves a useful purpose and saves me trips to my composter. I've kept scraps in it for several days with no odor seeping out.

Unique compost pot. Fits in well with my mother's kitchen decor (I bought this as a gift). Havent seen anything else in this design on the market. She and I both love it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail looks beautiful in my kitchen, and it is the largest, and lightest of the pails I've seen offered! I have it on my counter, my sister has one on her hardwood floor. I may keep mine shined up, we'll see, because copper will develop a verdigris.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This was a gift for a hard to please sibling. She and her husband were THRILLED with the composter. Pretty enough to sit on the (state of the art) kitchen counter so emptying isn't forgotten.
THanks you made me look good!!!!!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Attractive addition to the counter. Holds scraps from a week or two.

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:

Easy, attractive way to gather food scraps. Has sturdy handle and tight fitting lid. Nice size. Hope that it retains its color. Glad I chose this one.

Looks nice, heavy guage steel, good size for kitchen. Just started using it, so not sure about odors.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
very well built and attractive. I only wish that it had a carbon filter in the lid as many others do. Worth the money.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
No need to hide this scrap pail out of sight. It stays handy on the counter and looks like any other attractive kitchen fixture.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a really lovely container. It looks great on our countertop and can hold a couple days of kitchen scraps. The only down side is that the copper on the inside bottom of container has peeled off. I liked the fact that I could put it in the dishwasher, but since the copper bottom has peeled off, I now hand wash it. Still, I would buy it again and if I thought it compromised the function of the container, I would have asked for a replacement or refund. So far, so good.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Love the look, much nicer than the old plastic bucket I had!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is absolutely beautiful on the counter, and the handle is hefty enough for me to carry it across the field to my compost pile. As someone else posted, it did discolor fairly easily on the inside (perhaps due to the acids? We put a lot of fruit scraps in there). But, as long as the outside stays nice, I'm just thrilled with this!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We have it on the kitchen counter to collect scraps for the compost. My husband and I love the way it looks. Sure beats the old plastic ice cream bucket we were using!

I'm very satisfied with the copper finish compost pail. I can leave it sit out on the counter, it is so attractive that some people mistake it for an ice bucket! It's very practical with the nice fitting lid and handle, it's very easy to take outside, no dripping, no mess. I would recommend it for anyone who wants a functional and attractive compost pail.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail is attractive, and has ample kitchen scrap capacity. However, it started leaking, the pail handle fell off, and the copper finish peeled off after less than a year of use.
Not a good value.

LOOKS GOOD AND IS EASY TO USE
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It is handsome and odor free. Couldn't ask for anything more. Because of its size, I empty it every few days (it is just me at home but I LOVE to cook!). It is great to dump the coffee grounds, onion rinds and other fruit shavings right into the pail, knowing it will turn into something useful in a few short months!

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
[...] It is beautiful with the black handle. The inside copper finish is wearing off after just 3 months. At first I was surprised because I thought it was a "copper pail" but then I looked at the description and it clearly states "copper finish". It looks fine on the outside and who cares about the inside!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is great to collect scraps in the kitchen for composting without odor or unsightliness. It's very pretty and it holds a lot. I only need to empty it every 2-4 days depending on what's going on in the kitchen. I definately recommend this product!

I love this product!! I've used a variety of containers in my kitchen to gather scraps throughout the day to be taken to my compost pile. This is by far the best in many ways. It's definitely the best looking. I love having it sitting out on my counter. It blends so well with my kitchen. It is a nice, heavy material that should stand up to years of use. The lid is heavy and sits very well making a tight seal. No odors escape!! I absolutely love it.

You'll be happy with it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use this compost pail in the kitchen for all of our kitchen scraps. I put all of our kitchen compost materials in it and empty it as needed. So far, there has been no odor. It's larger and better than I expected.

Sits on my kitchen counter and complements the decor. Not too heavy when full.

I bought this to use for kitchen waste but it's so pretty that I am using it for decoration instead.

Looks good on my counter and holds enough food waste for a few days before I make it out to the compost. Doesn't smell.

looks very classy on my kitchen counter, and the size and shape are perfect for food scraps.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We chose this particular pail because it went with our kitchen decor, and the size suited us. We are very happy with the appearance and quality of the product. We use it as a temporary holder and transporter of food prep scraps to the compost bin or worm bin. There are no odors, and clean up is a breeze.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We use it with the Biobags (they fit in it great) and it makes it a convenient way to carry out to compost pile. Looks great on the countertop. We empty every 3-4 days without any smell.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It was so good-looking she was not sure if she wanted to use it for compost!!!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This stylish bucket would lend class to just about any kitchen. Only possible drawback is lack of an odor filter, but frequent emptying and/or use of a liner takes care of that. And it's so easy to clean. Below I'm asked if I would recommend it to a friend. I give it to friends as a gift!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use the pail on my counter top so my husband can save all the contents for his compost pile.
The lit has a ring around it so no orders get out and the handle is ergonomically easy to grip.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The pail is well made, no odors escape, which I was worried about. I keep it on the kitchen counter. It is alittle bigger than I would have liked for the counter but otherwise great.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Looks great even on the kitchen counter; good capacity.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
The pail is the perfect size to sit along side your cutting board. It can hold a whole days scraps. Easy to clean and I just love the copper which fits with all my copper pots and pans. Has a nice weight to it (not cheap tin) and the handle is very strong.
I love it !

Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is gorgeous. Handle makes it easy to carry out to the compost pile. Tall and narrow means that it holds alot but doesn't take up too much counter space. Lid fits well so those little fruit flies can't get in. Worth the money.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a great pail! It looks nice in my rustic kitchen! I also purchased biobags which fit this pail nicely. The only problem is there is no where to put a carbon filter, so sometimes it gets stinky.
Otherwise, I love it!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This compost pail is a good size - we empty it every day or two with a fimaly of five. It is very attractive on the kitchen counter, is easy to clean, and is easy to carry.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Love the way this container looks on my counter top, but it left rust-like marks on my counter top, so I put a plastic dish under it.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This pail is great for collecting kitchen scraps suitable for composting. It has a snug fitting lid to prevent odors from escaping and does not hold any odor after it's washed out. Looks great on the kitchen counter!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
It is the right size for composting coffee grounds, fruit rinds, etc. I use it with the biodegradable compost bags. The handle is sturdy and will not slip or fall off. It is very easy to clean.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Holds up better than the plastic models I've used in the past. Looks better in the kitchen. Holds up to banging against the compost bin.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
We really like the productivity of composting!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Guests are surprised that the pretty copper pail is really my compost pail! The beautiful copper finish is perfect with my kitchen decor. Perfect size for the counter - no excuses now not to compost!
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Nice appearance, durable, although after a few runs through the dishwasher, the copper plating is starting to flake off on the inside bottom of the bucket.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This was a gift to my daughter who had copper fixtures in her kitchen and felt this would compliment them. She loves it and has started to compost now to help with her flower gardening. She hopes to have a vegetable garden some day.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Perfect size, great looks, solid construction
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This is a bargain, a beauty with many uses.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
Beautifully attractive as well as super sturdy construction. Looks good just sitting there waiting to be used.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I keep this pail on the counter in my kitchen; it goes perfectly with the country/copper decor. (Which is why I was willing to spend a bit more for it and stop using an old coffee can, lol.) Although there's nowhere to put a carbon filter under the pail's lid, smells haven't been an issue, even in summer with no air conditioning. The pail holds a week's worth or more of compostables for a family of 3. The price is a little high, otherwise I'd have rated it 5 stars.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use this in the kitchen. It looks nice and the outside finish hasn't tarnished with use and washings.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
This has been a wonderful addition to our kitchen. It is so pretty and stays right near the sink - because it is so accessible the whole family now puts the food waster in there! The rim of the lid really keeps the smell down, add a BioBag as a liner and you have a great solution to food waste in the kitchen!

No more using a plastic open tub for coffee grinds, egg shells,& fruit rinds. The copper bail with lid keeps smells in & fruitflies out!

This compost bucket is an attractive way to collect kitchen waste. Because it is lightweight and sturdy, it is easy to carry kitchen waste to my compost pile in the backyard.

Add organic kitchen scraps--lid keeps odors to a minimum--handy for one weeks worth of waste.

This lovely pail looks great in my kitchen, has a nice capacity and the lid goes on tightly so no smells or fruit flies get out. It really does the trick.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
I use my pail daily for compost in my garden.
It is the perfect size and color for my remodled kitchen. I have copper applainces and fixtures and my pail fits right in with my decor.
Comments about Copper Finish Compost Pail:
My mom was tired of my dad leaving his household compost on the kitchen counter in various containers. I bought this because it is attractive (slender enough that it doesn't take up too much counter space), needed no extra equipment, larger capacity, and easy to carry out to the compost pile. Best design for the money. Oh, I just bought one for my house too!
