Use & Care

This is an indoor Kitchen Compost Bin - use outdoors may affect longevity. Both the bin and filter can be washed in warm soapy water. Do not place in the dishwasher. We advise against placing hot food in the Compost Bin as the heat and condensation can affect longevity. Make sure the filter and the bin are both air dried before reassembly.

Store bin liners in a cool dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.

For the Vege Bar, simply fill up your sink with water, shake the Bar around under the surface, then go ahead and give your produce a good wash. We like to use our Vegetable Brush for this or you can rub the Bar directly onto your apples, celery and everything in between. Ensure you rinse everything thoroughly before storing or eating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Kitchen Compost Bin designed for my countertop?

Yes! We've designed our Compost Bin to be a beautiful addition to your kitchen countertop to remind you to save your scraps from landfill and to start a conversation with guests!

How do I compost my food scraps?

So you’ve collected your food scraps, what next? Simply empty your scraps directly into your home Compost Bin. If you're lucky enough to live in a council that collects organic food waste simply add your scraps to your green bin. If neither of these are possible we'd encourage you to check Sharewaste to find your nearest option and keep your scraps out of landfill!

What are the Bin Liners made from?

Our bin liners are made from a compostable resin named Mater-Bi produced by Novamont, an Italian research company dedicated to environmental alternatives to polyethylene-based plastics. Mater-Bi is an innovative family of bioplastics that uses substances obtained from plants, such as but not limited to, non-genetically modified corn starch, and biodegradable/compostable polymers obtained both from renewable raw materials and fossil raw materials. Novamont’s policy is to acquire and use exclusively natural, non-GM, raw materials (such as starch).

Do the Bin Liners break down into microplastics?

No, the liners are certified compostable and contain a variety of compostable polymers so they can safely be eaten by worms and microorganisms, leaving no toxic residues or microplastics behind.

Will the bin liner break down in a home compost and can I put them in my worm farm?

Yes, in an active compost environment, our liners will break down within a matter of weeks and at the same rate as your food scraps. Success of home composting depends on how rich your compost is and the conditions unique to your compost bin and your location, including outside temperatures, moisture levels and the number of active microorganisms. The bags break down at normal compost temperatures and don’t need to be heated to high temperatures to break down. Yes, these bin liners can be placed in a worm farm sporadically however, they are much better suited for the compost bin. If placing in a worm farm we recommend chopping the bags into little bit so it is easier for the worms to break down.

Tidy Countertop, Happy Worms.

The kit has really simplified (and beautified) the composting process in my kitchen. It's a very generous sized bin, I LOVE the colour, and the home compostable bags make for a mess free transfer from kitchen to garden compost bin. Coming into the warmer months I'll be glad of a compost bin with a lid to reduce the opportunity for flies to visit.

Looks great an no smell!

Really happy with this little bin. It's perfect to keep food scraps in he kitchen while still looking good and containing the smell. I've only been using it for a few weeks and I empty it into my bokashi bins every second day but this is what I bought it for.

Compost Bin

This bin is a great size! For a busy single working mum only being able to get out to empty the compost once a week- this is perfect!

Also stylish for my kitchen!

Good, nearly great

Fantastic bin. The lid is just a little sticky to get on and off.

Thanks for your purchase and feedback Patrick! The lid is a snug fit to ensure smells stay in and critters stay out! Try lifting the lid at a slight angle for the easiest opening :)
