It took me ages to make up my mind about the choice of a little waste container to put on my worktop.This J & J waste container ticked all the boxes for me, except the price box! I finally realized if placed on the right hand side of my sink, not far from my dark grey and stainless steel kettle and toaster by Breville, the dark grey plastic and the stainless steel handle of the J & J compost container would match perfectly. I have to admit this was the last reason that made me go ahead with the order, (though not the main reason!) but I was still thinking the price was a bit high. I must say I am now DELIGHTED with the practical and stylish result on my worktop! Worth every penny of it! Liner bags? Easy to notice the way of fixing the liner bags was very well thought of. Even the bags I had (a bit too big), worked. I will eventually shop around at Amazon to buy the proper size of J & J liners for it. This little compost container corresponds perfectly to my needs. I have already got a dual Brabantia kitchen bin on the kitchen floor. It has 2 sections - one of which is for all our garden compost. We are vegetarian, we always make fresh soup and we eat lots of fruit & veg so, we get lots and lots of peelings going straight into that bin. When full, it's emptied into our large compost bins at the end of the garden. I needed a small size compost container on my worktop (instead of using a salad bowl covered with a large plate!!!) to fill up with items connected with food I do NOT put in my garden compost (bits of cooked food, cheese rinds, daily peelings of citrus fruit, large stones from avocados (take years to decompose!) & stones from peaches and apricots, plus coffee filters & tea bags). The Council give us a sort of good size brown bucket to fill up with stuff for garden compost + bits of cooked foods and whatever you don't want to dump into your own garden compost -- but all must be put in biodegradable bags. No place on my kitchen floor for this brown squarish bucket, and it is much too big (and ugly) to put on my worktop! I keep it in the garage. The "bucket" in question gets emptied once a week at the same time as our general rubblish bins. Every 5 or 6 days, I empty the contents of my little J&J container into that brown bucket. Perfect solution for me. I now could not do without my J&J compact waste container, sitting nicely on my kitchen worktop, next to my sink, looking great with other accessories, and doing a much much better job than my old salad bowl covered with a plate! A liner bag gets filled within just about a week and it never ever smells. I feel I have now completed all my efforts towards the recycling of food, in a very satisfactory and very happy way!
