Bought 2 as Christmas gifts for my daughters. They love them! Will be buying one for! myself too as soon as they are restocked.
Lois C.
I got this product as the kitchen is being done over and I thought this would be a great item to keep things together and clean!
Bob S.
This was a gift to my gardening/cooking sister-in-law. She was delighted to receive it. (It was something that she had asked for.)
It appears to be well made, a good size for the job- not too big not too small.
Richard B.
I really like this bin. I wish it had an insert that lifted out. They do make one but the reviews for that model indicated an issue with the handle coming loose.
Lisanne Wozniak M.
Love Love Love'! Not sure why I waited so long to get a compost container, as we have composted for years! Great design, holds a lot. Reasonable and shipped fast! I also already recommended it to a friend.
Barbara C.
Size just right
Sharon T.
Love it! Looks good on my counter. Not overwhelming, a perfect size!

Just what I needed for those scraps headed for the compost bin. Using compostable bags make this perfect. We were using old plastic store bags to hold the scraps, now no smells or fruit flies!
Whippet John
Very functional and looks nice on the countertop.
JennGBunny
Excellent product! The coating (ceramic, I think?) covers both inside and out making it very easy to clean. The charcoal filters do an AMAZING job at keeping odors contained. While this is a lovely fixture that I keep in the kitchen, as a test, I left the bin full outside while on vacation for a week. When I returned, I found that while bugs (generally fruit flies) are able to get through the holes in the lid, I am amazed at the odor containment. Lots of decomposition can happen in the span of a week outdoors... and did (quite gross) I didn’t smell anything with the lid closed. I am so impressed with this product. I do use compostable bin liners to make sure all the goodies make it into my tumbling composter outside and simplify cleaning. Worth spending a few extra dollars for this quality product. Bonus that it matches my cream colored cabinets perfectly!
Chris Sinclair
Great product. Doesn’t have any funky smells. Works perfect.
Jane Barker
I didn't receive extra filters and it said I would receive 7.
KM
I love this on my counter I get a lot of compliments on it!
mark googins
The handle broke after a week. I’ve still been using it and it’s not bad but the carbon filter gets moldy pretty quick.
Robert Fortin
bags will start to leak if left in to long. very easy to use
Kimberly Kilburn
There is nothing I dislike about this product but have decided I will need to order a larger one in the near future.
mjl834a
We recently have mandated composting in our state and I purchased this for my father. He seems to like it and it gets the job done!
Edward
The container works well but I don't trust using the handle at all. It comes out of it's receiver almost every time I try to use it.
BJDelaware
It’s nice looking, big but not too big, does the job perfectly.
MC
I love it, but it’s difficult to keep the handle on. It keeps popping off the bin.
Heriberto Bejarano
We recently started putting more energy on our garden and plants and started our own compost for our garden bed. It is working, plants are loving it.!!!
Kat Fagan
This bin is tasteful and aesthetically pleasing, but we had not used this bin for more than a couple of weeks and the handle popped off from one of the sides. Now I have to carry the bin out without the handle because the handle won’t reconnect.
Ladywulf9
This sits right by my sink so it's easy to put the kitchen waste in there while preparing meals. It's a nice size as it holds quite a bit before I take it to the big bin outside but doesn't take up a lot of counter space. And it is attractive. Also, it's clear what it is for since it says it right on there. The only thing I wish is that it would automatically come with about 3 filter replacements. I'd pay a little more to have it all together. (But not too much more!!!)
J. Adams
It’s a nice size for a small family and the bin is made of nice material. However, within two weeks the bale (handle) came out of one side. I contacted seller who suggested item was defective and that I could try to fix it by removing other handle and squeezing the handles tighter then reinserting them. Tried that and within two days, it popped out again. I don’t appreciate customer service saying something is defective then telling me how I can fix it. It’s been returned for refund.
MorMor
Love the sleek design and attractive print of my countertop composted. Arrived exactly as described and quickly. Works great!
Springer
Now that it is canning season I could have used on a little bigger but for most of the year it will be the perfect size. Very cute and it really does keep bugs and smell away!
moria amjadi
Attractive and well made
raina mitchell
You’d be surprised how much compostable stuff you produce. Def recommend those product. It looks cute and never smells.
MaryP
It's cute and easy to use. I empty and clean it out every night, so the odor filter hasn't had much of a work out, but so far, so good.
Neenay
The bottom of this bin is not welded, it's one solid piece. That means you don't have a nasty groove that won't come clean. My husband dumps the compost, sprays the bucket, and brings it back inside.
Stink free, hassle free, and relatively attractive.
Karen Balazy
I like the way it looks and it's functional. Carbon filters are definitely a plus. Holds a lot of compost. Was good pick for me.
Shelly Cole
I have had my composter for a while now. It is sturdy, keeps out odors, and looks great in the kitchen. It cleans up easily. Doe not keep out fruit flies. I am not sure anything can keep out fruit flies but when I open the lid to place in more compost the same day, it is full of fruit flies. I would still order the product again.
Kyle
This product is a very good looking compost bin, however, it broke after 3 weeks of use. The handle came apart making the bin very hard to dump and take out. For how much money this product was I was hopping for a long lasting compost bin.
Greg Baber
Works really well - the ants and flies haven't found anything in there yet, which is critical. It looks good on my kitchen cabinet and I've never smelled anything even when full of some nasty food remnants.
Ann B.
Ok ladies, this bin is the perfect size, if you just have average compost. It’s very discreet on my counter and holds a surprising amount of compost. The lid is not as snug as I wanted, but was remedied by placing a thick rubber band around the lip of the lid. It has charcoal in the lid and is completely odorless, now. I love the fact that there isn’t an insert, because it’s much easier to clean. I would recommend this to anyone who takes the extra step to compost.
Amazon Customer
This countertop bin holds a good amount of compostable waste--2 or 3 days worth for a family of four. The handle is nice and makes carrying it outside very easy. I love it and would buy it again.
melissa
Great bin. It doesn't smell at all. :)
Trista lick
Love the design, size, handle, filter, and all around cuteness of it!
Paula
Project came as expected and very quickly. The bin is sturdy. I love that its only 1 gal, since we are just 2 people.
Mary
We needed a holding spot to put stuff for our compost and this works like a charm. No smell, no bugs! Just what we needed.
Jerry
I keep my Third Rock compost bin on the kitchen counter near the sink. It very sturdy and substantial. The filter is working well, as there is never an odor leaking from it. I use the compostable liner bags so very little cleanup is needed . I love that it has a “ retro” vibe to it.
Listen2urMom
Love the size, love the charcoal filter. My little city yard is too small for a proper compost pile, but the city will pickup kitchen scraps with the yard waste. No unpleasant odor, no little flies. Lovey metal pail with lid. The only drawback is the handle “pops” off from time to time. I’m working with re-bending the handle to make it stay on because I don’t want any accidents while transporting my raw materials.
AB Kay
Hey, compared to some other options this is kindof stupid expensive, but it is hella cute. If you can afford it you'll be happy with it. Well made, good size (not too big or small) and looks great.
Karen
Love the looks, no odor, had holds alot
Amazon Customer
Perfect size for the countertop! Works great!
Lindsey
Absolutely adore this little compost bin.
Liming Gao
Great design, easy to use and clean, love it.
Carrie B. Partridge
I love the size, quality, durability, and look of this compost bin! I was so excited when I got it, that I immediately sent a picture of it to my siblings, who are also into composting at home. I have been super impressed with the diligence, ingenuity, and responsiveness of this company, and I look forward to supporting them again in the future.
Susan I Fearon
I don't write reviews very often but this definitely deserved one I am very pleased and impressed with this product looks beautiful in my kitchen and is very well made easy to use and clean its exactly what I was looking for and needed for my compost needs and I know it will get used and last a very long time well worth the money thank you thirdrock for such a well made and thought out product
ellie byers
The handle doesn't stay on and the compost has already stained the interior of the bin after just one month. It also gets smelly pretty quickly.
NVAB
I wanted to start composing to reduce my waste. This is very attractive and has a charcoal filter to eliminate smells. Cute design looks great. There is also a handle to carry it out to the bin.
Rita Gleason
What a sweet little bin. Adorable design, perfectly coordinating with my kitchen. I love the charcoal filter which helps keep unwanted aroma's at bay. Just fill it all day, and dump in the evening, though even if I leave it overnight it doesn't stink up the kitchen.
Christina Johanson
Does not stink. Looks very appealing on my kitchen counter, not industrial at all, very artsy.
Julie N.
We love this compost bin so far, it keeps the odors away as well as pests! I highly recommend if you want a good quality product for your composting needs
Amanda
I wanted to love this so badly. It was sooo cute, matched my decor perfectly, and seemed to be a great size. I didn't know these existed, I couldn't have been more ready to open my box! At first glance out of the box, this is still CUTE!!! When it first arrived I set it down and ran out of the house. later, when I had more time to inspect it, my enthusiasm quickly drained down to disappointment.
The materials used to make this feel cheap. It lacks a solid. The silver rim on the lid for example felt discount store quality, and a careless oversight was that the corresponding rim around the top of the cannister had the seam directy above the picture. I need this item for my kids to carry compost out quite a distance on our property. Let's pretend I don't have kids, if this thing gets dropped by ME on accident I can see this cheap rim bouncing right off. While I could leave the lid inside (remember I DO have kids, so what are the odds THEY will remember to do that?!), for $40 I expect much sturdier materials. The sidewall of the lid also had a really ugly stippling effect on it. The finish wasn't smooth. It was very unsightly and stood out on the light color, the ripples caught light and reflected so it really stood out as an eye sore. I wish I had remembered to take a picture before I returned it, but unfortunately I didn't. The can does appear as if it would be relatively easy to clean. The tree on it looked as if it was some sort of decal, so I wonder if long term that would even stay- which is the most redeeming thing about this compost bucket.
Overall, this was an easy pass for me. If I had I paid $10-15 for this at a discount store, I would have kept it. It isn't worth more than that and overall my concerns about its quality and longevity made it an easy return. I will continue to look for a solid quality composter that will last.
Donna
The bin came amazingly fast. The design fits in with the plants I have on the countertop. Not a single gnat or fruit fly since it was placed. Very spacious.
Amazon Customer
Wonderful and exactly as described!
Mara
It really matches the vibe in my kitchen and doesn't smell but it does require some sort of paper towel before putting in food or else they will stick!
Kayla
Not only is this compost bin nice & spacious, it's attractive & keeps the smells away. I love the look of it on my countertop & having that added filter is a nice feature. I would personally recommend!
New Mexico Lady
This fits on my kitchen counter without looking ugly. It does not let any smells out, but then again I only put vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, and egg shells in it. So, it takes longer to fill it up, and still no smell. I just love this cute compost container. You will love it too. Thanks
SarahiCunning
Wow! This REALLY does keep the smell in the container!
Super cute and a great size.
The handle thing comes off really easy...? But it’s still nice.
Ed
Great buy. My wife has also taken to it. I empty it daily into our large costco composter and it is a very useful tool in the composting process. Yes organic waste could let out an odor if you let it sit for many days. Just wash it regularly and you will be great.
Lisa
This is a great counter-top compost bin. It's cute, smooth finish is easy to wipe clean, and lid fits well. It's not to big ( but does come in a taller variety if you want a bigger one). I love it.
DC
Great product at a great price. Blends in with the stuff on our counter. We use bags for ease of disposing the compost into our yard compost bin. We have to change out the bags twice to three times a week.
Karen Meriwether
Great add to the kitchen for putting in your yard waste.
Richard Standiford
The charcoal filter keeps the smell in and it looks good sitting on the counter.
Amazon Customer
It’s cute and contains the smell!
Alla Renier
My old compost bin cracked and I needed to replace it. This one seemed to be a perfect fit. Pluses: bigger diameter is a lot more convenient for every day use; appearance is neutral without drawing extra attention to the bin, filter does the job well - no unwanted smells, lid fits well, no strange indentations that make cleaning withput a dishwasher close to impossible. Minus- every time I want to use a handle it pops out of the socket. It is annoying but not critical for overall performance. I think it is a design flaw.
Mary J. Marceau
This compost bucket is the perfect size for my kitchen counter. I love the looks of it too as it matches my kitchen perfectly. I did have smell issues with some stinky brussel sprouts in the compost but other than that, not a problem in this area either.
kingzacho
Was larger than I expected, but works well at the head of our corner sink. Looks very fresh and appealing. Would highly recommend it.
J. Huntress
Works well and looks great on the kitchen counter. The handle comes off easily but is easy to put back on.
Terry Mansfield
Well made, nice size for limited counter top space
Selene B
This has made composting in my tiny apartment possible. No other method has been so easy and odor free. The charcoal filter makes a HUGE difference, compared to just using any old container. I highly recommend this for people who want to be less wasteful, but live in a small space.
Melissa Longo
Perfect size for my countertop. No fruit flies as the lid seals shut tight. No smell detected even with veggies/fruit in there for a few days.
Amazon Customer
Looks good
Austin
Attractive and functional countertop item. Good way to dispose or unwanted cellulose food items
Avery Mooney
I gave 4 stars on sturdiness bc the handle is cheap and doesn't stay attached. Not that big of a deal, but then handle doesn't work. Rest of the bin is great looks nice on my counter and haven't noticed a smell yet. Purchased about a month ago. I would reccomend this
Amanda Palin
Its a well made, cute little countertop composter. I love the artwork on it, and Its the perfect size for the counter.
The compostable bags that you can buy with it are the perfect size for it too which is nice and makes dumping it easier and cleaner!
Love love love my new compost bin!
Tess
This bin is just the right size for sitting next to my kitchen sink. I use it with a bag and switch it out every couple days so have no smell issues (everything from coffee grounds, to fruit cores, to dinner scraps go in). Great quality too, well made and nice looking.
LaJaHa
We wanted something a bit more cute than what the city provided to sit out on our countertop and this was perfect. No smell ever and easy to clean.
Jett
I wanted to start composting and this is a nice size to hold approx one week of scraps for my family. I then toss the scraps in my larger composting bin outside. No bugs on my counter, no stinky smells- very nice product.
Paula - Kindle Customer
We've been using this since Christmas and the only time you smell anything is when you take the cove off to put something iside. I don't know about the long term safe and fear as we haven't had it long.
AvantGarde
This is a great little pot! The porcelain finish is very nice which makes it super easy to clean! Very nice
itay
Very fast shipping. Looks great
Vanessa
Looks great on the counter and contains the smell. However, the handle constantly pops off and isn’t really functional
K
Really happy with this product. It looks nice on the counter, is the right size, and does not smell. Could not be more pleased.
Carl
Working Great & Looks Great!!
azcoolmom
Love how tightly the lid seals and the fact it is the perfect size for my kitchen and very cute, makes it ideal. This came in all enviro friendly packaging, so this company walks the talk. They have 2 sizes, but I preferred this smaller one, for the space I have. I love composting and this makes it cleaner, easier and cute!
Kathryn Samuelson
This is a cute little compost bin that does not smell - the filter works well. However, the handle comes out of the slots every time I pick it up, which is frustrating.
Lynde
So far so good! Not smelly or attracting gnats! The handle was a bit hard to maneuver so I took it off but other than that I LOVE IT!
MJ
We like the large opening much more than our old compost bin. It's much easier to get the scraps in the container. Looks good sitting on the counter, too.
Amazon Customer
I'm very impressed with how sturdy this is. It looks adorable on my counter. It's winter right now, so I don't know how well it will do with fruit flies and such, but so far I am very happy with this composter.
Did I mention it looks adorable?
Christine R Molina
It’s so cute and looks great in my kitchen. Also easy to use and clean.
