Countertop Compost Bin

Overview

A countertop compost bin is a small lidded caddy that collects food scraps while you prep. It usually sits near the sink or cutting board until it is emptied outside. Select it and pick a color: white, natural wood, bamboo, black, stainless, sage, terracotta, gray or navy, or any shade from the color wheel; the body changes while food, glass and trim keep their real-world colors.

Sizing & placement

It is 8 inches wide, 8 inches deep and 11 inches tall (about 20 × 20 × 28 cm). It is a small round caddy, about 20 cm across, so it fits in a corner by the sink. Drop it on a base cabinet or kitchen island and it stands on the countertop at that counter's real height, even one you have made taller or shorter; it can also sit on a table, desk, dresser, buffet or bar. It never falls to the floor: with nothing under it, it sits at standard counter height.

Where it works

Kitchens, next to the sink or cutting area. In the app it is in Furnish, on the Kitchen tab, under Counter Accessories; or search "compost bin" or "compost caddy".
