Review: Useful, purposeful and decorative - This is one of my favorite desertcart orders in a while. My husband and I cook with a lot of veggies, and recently decided to start a composting pile in our backyard. This bin is just the right size to keep in the kitchen...since it's just two of us, it takes a couple days at a time of cooking before we have to empty it but during that time, the filter and the lid keep any odors in check. With its outer handle, it's portable enough that I can move it around the kitchen easily to wherever I'm prepping dinner. Then, when it is time to empty it, all you do is pull the inner bin out and then give it a good rinse afterwards to clean it. Easy peasy! Plus it looks super cute and blends in really well with my kitchen decor. As a bonus, it comes with three replacement filters for the lid. What's not to love? This is a wonderful product and I only wish I'd ordered it sooner!
Review: Goes with my kitchen. - This seems to be working out quite nicely and is much better looking than the gallon plastic milk jug that I modified into a refuse keeper with a plastic sack for a lid. The green color of this bucket goes with the subway tile in my kitchen, and I don't really have to hide it in the sink. Tomorrow I empty it into my compost pile in the backyard and start a new collection. No smell! Very nice!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for collecting food waste
*by J***S on August 17, 2025*

I would say 4 1/2 stars! I don't really use it for composting, so I don't use the inner bucket. We have to separate the food waste in CA. so I use a composable bag inside. I will say, the wire handle wouldn't stay on, so I ended up throwing it away! Some of my friends were given containers to put waste our city did not. Not the cheapest but also not the most expencive, it was however the prettiest!
