My only regret is that I didn’t get this sooner!!

The fact that I can mount this to the trash bin has brought such a difference into our family, my 7-year-old child can put her own food scrub into the compost bin, so there’s no apple core, banana skin or unfinished plate of food on the counter or in the sink. My husband and I keep telling each other that we should have got this much sooner!
I am pleasantly surprised at how much I like this bin. It is incredibly convenient hanging off the end of my trashcan, but more importantly it comes off easily to be moved to the counter during food prep. It's great to not have to dirty a 'scraps' bowl like I used to have to do. It has definitely kept the odors trapped as promised. It's been about three weeks and I'm shocked at how little actually ends up in the large trash can and happy that I'm not wasting large bags on a half empty bin because some food stinks.
My city is starting to collect composting material and I wanted a tidy way to collect my kitchen “waste”. This is a perfect size. I have it on my counter next to the sink. I am using the Z composting bags. It takes about 3 days to fill a bag. There is no leaking from the bag and no oder from the container. The finish matches my kitchen fixtures. I’m glad I got it and would recommend it.
We’re really enjoying the convenience of having a sharp looking compost bin (we previously were using a plastic one we kept in the garage). It’s easy to use, the perfect size, and the Z bags fit like a glove. Our one wish was it came in other “colors” to match our white SimpleHuman sensor trash can. :)
I like this product, but have one complaint. The lid does not fit tightly, letting the little "fruit" flies get in the caddy. It could also be a little bigger. Other than those things, it's great. Thanks.
