Exactly what I needed for cooking!

I eat a lot of veggies, and this is perfect for throwing scraps into. I was using just a plastic bag, but that doesn't stay open like this does. It is small enough that it looks fine on my counter between meal preps. Because it is small, however, I have to empty it after every 1-2 meals. Also keep in mind that the bags are biodegradable. I discovered the hard way that if you forget about it and leave the full bag in there for several days, it will start to break down and then you will have a mess to clean up.
I am truly delighted with my compost caddy. It's small enough to place in the work space of my kitchen when I'm preparing meals. It holds a lot of compostable materials. There is no odor coming from the compost caddy. It's easy to clean and has a nice style that blends in with my kitchen decor. The compostable liners further enhance its functionality and makes composting an easy task.
The caddy works as described. I would have returned it but it’s the best I found. For us TBH it’s just too small. I liked the rectangle shape so I can stash it under my kitchen sink when we have guests or I need the counter space. I’d love the same shape but three inches taller and a little wider.
This compost caddy is the best. It is lightweight, easy to clean, perfectly designed and allows you to get your compost bin off of the countertop... or not... with so many hanging options.
NYC just instituted mandatory composting, and finding a compost bin that would work in a small city apartment was challenging . This is actually perfect. It has a small profile, and looks chic and cool in matte black. And for me, it holds just enough for up to 3 days of food and paper scraps.
