Noaway Countertop Wood Compost Bin

We have been composting in a ceramic container for years, and this bin changed our lives! It is expensive but totally worth it. It looks elegant on the countertop without being too noticeable, the large size is amazing, and it is such an upgrade to be able to wash the inner part in the dishwasher.

We have the family size walnut compost bin, and we love it. Definitely a little pricey, but we use it and look at it every day, so it was worth it for us. The family size is perfect for our family of three, and we empty it every 2-3 days, which is really the longest you'd want rotting food to be sitting on your counter anyway. This sits prominently on our kitchen counter, and it just looks great overall. The stainless steel pan and lid are super easy to clean (we just rinse it out with hot water every time we empty it), and there's no lingering smell once it's empty. The lid fits well and keeps the smell contained if we haven't emptied it for a few days. The wood exterior is very high quality and fairly heavy, so the box doesn't slide around. The only thing that is hard to tell from the pictures is that the wood goes around the four sides only, so there's no wood on the bottom. Highly recommend this compost bin!

My husband and I are avid vegetable growers, so we both generate and use a lot of compost. For years, I have struggled to find a good way to deal with vegetable refuse in the kitchen - I'e tried various types of metal buckets, lidded ceramic containers, and plain old plastic bags - none were adequate to the task. And then I saw this beauty! It is exactly what I needed - the perfect size to live on the countertop next to the sink, and lovely enough to stay out in public view, and so well designed. I love that it is so easy to clean, and that the lid fits nicely. Most of all, I love the elegant design. Sigh - I am so happy now.
