A great compost bucket

I love that this looks great on the counter, very handy.
I usually don't keep the scraps indoors long enough to create an odor, but I'll bet in the summertime that I will be happy for the charcoal filter.
A great product. I recommend it.

I have tried a couple different containers for collecting compost. I first had a ceramic one that I liked the looks of, but it ended up breaking on a clumsy trip to the outdoor composter. I wouldnt pay $40 for a metal one because im too cheap when it comes to collecting rotten food.. I tried a most frugal method of reusing a #10 can, but that didn't last long because without wanting to punch holes in it so I could try to avoid the smell, a short time the inside and under the lid would mold, making opening it a disgusting and hand washing required task. This bucket isn't the most pleasing to lay eyes on, but it works! It is by far the most convenient design have seen. First of all there is a tab for opening the lid so there is no worry of touching the inside. The filter compartment is away from the food contents so it won't be growing with mold come time to replace it. It's plenty large even for a veggie household. The handle isn't wobbly like the ceramic ones and the lid is attached so carrying it is a breeze. Nope, I can't think of one bad thing to say about it and would have to recommend it.

A great little compost collector. I don't have a composter outside anymore but use this one just to put my greens in before disposal in the black bins. It washes up nice and stays sealed against ants which are frequent visitors 8 months out the year. I did have it in the refrigerator for awhile to hide it from them but so far being back on the counter, they don't seem to be interested. It does not take up much counter space which is good.

It's odd giving a trash can a 5-star review, but so far, it's been a good little compost bin.  It holds the 3 gallon BioBag compost baggies just great.  I use the BioBags because I live in a high-rise complex in Seattle so I have to "take out my compost" instead of just being able to toss it out into a garden area like I would love to do if I had a yard.  Still, the one day the "BioBag" started to compost or got punctured, the bin was easy to quickly wash and put a new bag in.  Also, so far, no gross smells, and I haven't been taking out the baggy until the pail is full, so depending on if it's a "meal prep" week or a non meal prep week, could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks before the compost is taken out.  I keep it on the counter and it looks good there.  I like that it's able to be visible in my kitchen because if I put it underneath the sink, I am pretty sure my roommates would forget it existed and just throw all their food-stuffs into the regular trash like before.

We love this type of composter. As the compost breaks down you retrieve soil from an opening at the bottom. Its perfect for our small yard. This is our 2nd one. The first one stayed with our old house. No turning needed. It will make a lot of soil for our gardens over time. It is easy to assemble and the lid locks. We shaved one of the levers down a little for easier turning.

My research indicated that, over time, every material type has its drawback when it comes to compost buckets:  metals rust, ceramics crack, and plastics retain smells.  This dual, 2-in 1, approach seems to sidestep all those issues.  Plus, there are no carbon filters or little bags to bother with.  It is easy to empty, and we've experienced no undue odors (or flies) even during summer.  This bucket is small enough to tuck under the kitchen sink but large enough to last up to a week, so that emptying it coordinates well with other garbage chores.

Great for the kitchen compost.  Looks nice enough that we can leave it on the counter. Easy to clean and empty.

As my wife is a master gardner for the state of NC, she is building a compost pile, and is making sure that every scrap from the kitchen that can be in a compost pile goes into it.

We used to have an old mixing bowl by the sink where we could through vegetable skins, egg shells, coffee and tea grounds into, but it really would begin to smell very quickly.  We got a covered bucket that we kept outside and dumpe the mixing bowl every day, until the bucket filled up, and then we would toss into the compost.

A very ugly, and smelly process.

I got this for all of us, as it is a CLOSED container with a charcoal filter top.  It is a very nice design that looks good on the countertop.  And it does hold a decent amount of scraps.

And with the handle, it is very easy to take this out the door, down the steps and back into the compost pile to dump.

A great addition to the kitchen!

We decided to compost this year and I need a caddy of some sort to gather my fruit and vegetable scraps for my green compost material.  This unit is sleek and I can place it under the counter without losing much space.  Plus the filter helps with the smell.

This is what I needed.  Big enough to hold my compost for a few days. Love the seperate bucket.  Would like something to secure the lid just a bit more.

This bucket is so safe and handy for cleaning out my wood burning stove.  I have used it over and over with no sign of wear.  I appreciate the attached shovel holder, especially after moving hot ashes with it.  A great product.

I am very happy with my Epica Stainless Steel Compost Bin.  It is one gallon size which is the perfect size for holding my leftovers for composting.  It looks very nice and is very convenient sitting on my kitchen counter.  I use the Norpro Degradable Compost Bags, 50 Pieces, because there is no leakage when removing the bag from the compost bin.  I've read that the compost bags will degrade over a longer period of time than a biodegradable bag, but the degradable bags or less prone to leakage. The handy stainless steel handle allows me to leave the bag in the bin and carry it to the compost barrel. I just dump everything out of the bag into the com-poster and throw away the bag.  It comes with Compost Bin Filters that keep any odors from escaping and I ordered an extra Epica Replacment Compost Bin Filters so I will be ready when the filter needs changing.  I highly recommend this compost bin.

I have had this compost caddy for roughly 3-4 months and it has worked great.  It takes us about 10 days to fill it up completely before I take it to the compost bin.  The handle and square opening makes it easy to dump.  The handle seems a little flimsy and I worry that I might break it, but so far I have not been gentle with it - and it hasn't broke.  After I dump it, I clean it well with soapy water and it looks good as new.  There have been no smells and the lid fits well so I haven't had problems with those tiny flies.  I keep the bin on the floor by a doorway and the handle makes it easy to grab and put on the counter or in the sink where I am working.  Even with it being on the floor, my dogs haven't messed with it so that's a pretty good sign that the filter works.  This is not a "pretty" composter - one that I would want to keep on the counter, but it is a hard working one.  And, it's large enough to keep me from running out to the composter every other day. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

This compost bin is really well made and looks great in our kitchen.  I would recommend this product to anyone. Looking forward to some great compost this coming growing season thanks to this bin.

My husband is very happy with this composter.  He no longer fusses about taking out the compost scraps from the kitchen.  We had a very large one before that was very hard to turn.  This was easy to assemble.  My daughter and I had it knocked out in under an hour.  The dual chambers should make for an easy way to let one side do it's thing after full while still being able to add new material to the other side.

This is a well made and sturdy holder of things going to the compost bin.  It doesn't take up much counter space, holds a copious amount,  and rinses easily.  That's what I was looking for.

This is a great container to hold compost.  I am a teacher and purchased it for my classroom.  Sometimes we change it every few days and it is great at "containing" the odor of the food inside.  It opens up easily  has a comfortable handle even for younger kids.  I would recommend this over the plastic ones.
