Countertop Compost Bin with Charcoal Filter and Wooden Handle
Product description
Keep kitchen scraps contained and out of the trash with this countertop compost bin. The package comes with the steel canister, a matching lid with ventilation holes, a wooden top knob and handle for carrying, plus two charcoal filters for odor control and replacement use. The bin measures roughly 10.2 x 7 inches and holds about 1.1 gallons — roomy enough for several days of food waste without dominating your counter.
Constructed from powder‑coated carbon steel, the unit resists rust and wipes clean easily. The lid features a compartment for an activated charcoal filter to absorb smells and small air holes to allow gentle aeration while preventing a sealed, anaerobic environment. Two filters are supplied so you can swap one while the other dries, helping maintain freshness between emptyings.
Operation is straightforward: deposit fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and other compostable kitchen waste in the bin during the week, then carry it outside using the wooden handle to empty into a larger compost pile or municipal organics container. The wooden accents and muted sage finish add a decorative touch for those who want a functional item that complements kitchen decor. Regular cleaning and filter rotation keep the unit performing as intended.

Makes moving kitchen scraps to my garden effortless. Compact, attractive on the counter, simple to clean and the charcoal filter keeps smells contained. I’ve been using it for a couple of years with no issues.

Lid alignment issue
When I opened mine the lid sat crooked and didn’t seal properly, so odors leaked out. I was past the return window and disappointed. Would be attractive if the lid fit right.

Perfect capacity, no odors
Works exactly as advertised — no bad smells and comes with two filters. The instructions didn’t show how to place the filter but it tucks into the lid easily. I swap and dry the filters when emptying weekly; neat and minimal on the counter.

Good for couples or small households
Compact and visually pleasing. Holds enough for two people; larger families may need a bigger option, but it’s ideal for transferring scraps to an outdoor composter.

Attractive and functional
Sturdy, roomy and stylish on my counter. Color is nice and the replaceable filter has prevented any smells so far. The lid vents made me wonder about airtight claims, so I docked a star — otherwise pleased.

Great for frequent use
Lovely design and handy for countertop use since we compost frequently and keep it out.
