RSVP International Stainless Steel Compost Pail 11x7.25-in.

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Compost Bins
from: R.S.V.P.


First, I admit to being too lazy to empty my kitchen scraps often, so, with that said, rest assured this great little container REALLY WORKS! NO SMELL whatsoever! Looks great! Really... I leave it on top of my counter near my stainless containers of flour, sugar, coffee beans. I know that might sound gross at first, but once you start using this you will understand how it is perfectly reasonable (even for me - a person who loves uncluttered counter tops - appliances are just unacceptable, but my little matching compost pail is okay - go figure!).

DEFINITE RECOMMENDATION (and I've even given one as a gift - long story short: I've gotten more thanks for this than any other gift I've ever given her).

Norpro GRIP-EZ Stainless-Steel Composter Keeper with FREE 2-pc. Replacement Filter Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Compost Bins
from: Norpro


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.

After a year of dutiful service, my little counter-top compost bin needed a new filter. These were exactly right. No more stink!

BioBag Biodegradable Compostable Kitchen Trash Bags-3 Gallon

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Compost Bins
from: BioBags


Bags are thin and will not hold much weight without breaking. Also, once put into use, should be deposited into the garbage within 3 days, as bag will begin to "melt". Used only for kitchen waste. A corn based product that is just a temporary fix. Hope someone comes up with another environmentally safe garbage bag. Recommended if you are a "green" sort of person.

Garden Composter

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Compost Bins
from: Gaiam


The composter I purchased from Gaiam arrived incomplete; in fact it was missing several pieces. I contacted the manufacturer of this unit and no one returned my call. I followed Gaiam's return intructions, which were fairly clear and which also cost me $35 FedEx to return. I have not received an exchange unit yet (which is what I requested).

I did receive an email from Gaiam explaining that they received the composter in return and that a new one would be coming to me in December. Apparently they are out of them at this time (11/13/2008).

I will update when this matter resolves.

Kitchen Compost Crock

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Compost Bins
from: Greenfeet.com


This is a wonderful product, it not only works, with no smell if you change the filters as instructed,
(though I find I don't need to change them quite as often as they say to) It also looks nice on the counter.
My only gripe is the Ridiculous price of shipping the extra filters, so order a lot when you do. I ordered only two, and ended up paying more for shipping than the product it self.

Gusanito Worm Factory Farm 3 Tray Garden Compost Bin

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Compost Bins
from: Sandalwood Enterprises


I bought a 5 level unit. It's as described except a weed barrier mesh or window screen doesn't come with it and is needed in the lowest part that catches and drains liguids. That's why it's 4 instead of 5 star. Without it the spout becomes clogged and you have to disassemble to clean with a hose. Some trick are if you see fruit flies or worms try to escape, then it's too moist in the unit and add some shredded paper and it solves the problem. My kids and grandkids get a kick out of seeing how many worm.

Gaiam Kitchen Compost Bucket Small, Green (5.5 Quart)

from: Gaiam


fruit flies...no matter what I've done I've gotten fruit flies. I empty it into the compost pile every day,wash it, and still...fruit flies. Now the bucket lives outside the front door, and that works much better, but still, I wish there was a way to have it on my kitchen counter
