StoneSpace Small Kitchen Trash Can with Lid, Compost Bin Indoor Kitchen Sealed, Under Sink Trash Can, 5 L/1.3 Gallon Plastic Trash Bin, Green

It's the right size for a home kitchen. I was on the fence for a while about getting a compost bin rather than using a repurposed bucket, but it's so well designed that I'm not sorry in the least. It's sturdy enough. About the volume of a gallon of milk. The included hanging options are great. The lid hangs off the opening in a convenient way when you are using it and fits neatly when you are done. Really no complaints.

I purchased the Stonespace small indoor compost bin in green, and it's been a great addition to my kitchen. The color is vibrant and appealing, and the size-1.3 gallon/5 liters-is perfect for fitting neatly on my countertop without taking up too much space. It holds enough for a day or two of regular composting, depending on what we cook. Sometimes we empty it sooner, while other times it lasts several days to even a week, which is very convenient. The bin comes with a lid, which I love for keeping everything contained after depositing vegetable scraps, fruit peels, coffee filters and grounds, eggshells, and other compostable materials. While I made the purchase in winter and haven't experienced fruit flies or ants yet, it does effectively keep regular flies and stinkbugs out. The handle is another thoughtful design feature-it makes it easy to move the bin to my cooking and cutting area while meal prepping, and it's equally handy for carrying outdoors to the compost pile. To me, the handle feels sturdy enough for regular use. The bin includes a cupboard door mount accessory that's simple to install-you just hook it to the door and close it. While I personally prefer storing the bin on my countertop, as mounting it would interfere with my kitchen setup, I can see how it could be useful for others. However, I found the mount to be a little "wobbly" and am unsure if it could withstand frequent bumps or being knocked into. The rectangular plastic shape makes cleaning a breeze. I simply rinse it out when emptying and give it a thorough wash when needed. Because it is easy to clean, I don't bother with compost bin liner bags, which saves money and avoids generating extra waste. Composting itself should not produce foul odors (as long as you avoid meat and dairy), but the lid does a great job of containing the natural smells inside the bin. I also appreciate the accurate description of the size, which helps ensure the bin suits your needs. I like that the bin is made of plastic instead of metal. This way I don't have to worry about the bin rusting or leaving marks on my countertop. The bin comes in four color options-green, black, light blue, and white-offering a choice for different preferences. The price for the product seems to be reasonable, especially since we use it almost every day. I haven't encountered issues with scratching or smudging, as I only use the bin for composting, but I find the sturdy design works well for its intended purpose. While the description mentions it can be used as a trash bin for other rooms, I'm quite happy using it for collecting compost in my kitchen. Overall, this compact and functional compost bin has made composting easier and more convenient for my household. I'm really pleased with this purchase, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a practical indoor solution to get you to compost regularly.

love that you can use the wall clip to set aside then the drawer clip for under the counter when more actively in use. perfect size and smells are contained

Compact and useful. The hanging hook is useful to store next to a trash bin for peeling potatoes / carrots if you happen to use this as a compost bin like I do. Looks neat and nice on the counter as well, it doesn't take up too much space. A nice trash bin for under-the-sink if your "main" kitchen bin isn't close by. If you are using it as a indoor compost bin (to collect for outdoor compost bin) like myself, just need to order compostable bags, line the bins with said bags, and take out to compost bin when full. But it is a bit small to be used as a compost bin for a family of 4, all of which love to cook... so it may be filled up fast and need to be taken out to the outdoor compost bin. (Which is fine, kind of what I was expecting / hoping-ish for.) The lid is... okay. I had a different expectation of it in my head, I suppose. But so long as it keeps the flies out, we're okay.

Loved my first one so much I got a 2nd. So now we have one for compost and one for trash. Perfect for my tiny apartment. They both fit on the same door, one on the inside and one on the outside. Makes cleaning up in the kitchen a breeze. I didn’t even realize for months that the top can hang on the side when using it. Awesome!
