Modern Style Compost Bin for Kitchen Countertop

Great looks good

I love my new compost bin! I had been using an old plastic container with cracks and decided it was time to upgrade after I saw an ad for these compost bins. I’m so happy with my purchase! It’s the perfect size, is quality made, and I love the handle when I carry it to dump outside. And it’s cute to boot! Happy customer!

I really love the look on my countertop. However it didn't come with the inside bucket...how do I get one?

Love the product, I have been composting for a long time and using a variety of containers. When I saw this container I new I had to have it. It is beautiful and easy to are for . Also the charcoal filters work great. I have to say there was a initial mixed up, but the customer service is a class act. And resolved quickly. I am totally satisfied and will highly recommend!

It is so much more functional than what I was using before, and pretty to boot. The packaging said something about changing the filters periodically. Where do I get them?

We are living our new compost bin. No smell not annoying bugs. We have larger composter out in garden. Great size, can't say enough good about it. Thank you!

I was just using a plastic Tupperware container for my compost. This new one is so cute- I can keep it on the counter. And it really smells so much better- although my husband has always been good at emptying it! It makes me smile when I look at it

Perfect in every way. Looks good on the kitchen counter. Nice. Thanks

Just what I needed in my kitchen to help recycle all these veggie scraps. My garden will definitely improve from this process.

No odor, holds a lot before emptying into our outdoor compost bin!! Love it!

I love it! It's perfect. Love that is has the charcoal filter. No smell. Love that I can lift the lid easily, whereas the container I had previously, I had to pry open. Not an easy feat with one of my hands full of vegetable clippings. And is it so pretty! As you can see, if fits in our farm kitchen perfectly!

I am happy, I have my compost for 3 or 4 days and without any smell, excellent purchase, I recommend it, thanks I loved!

Cute item looks great on my countertop.

I’ve composted for years and until this, used whichever containers I had available. This compost bin is stunning; my kitchen looks so much better now, all due to this single item. Thank you! Ilona M.

I love my new compost bin! I had an issue with delivery and the staff at Third Rock were wonderful to work with! I would strongly recommend both the company and the product!

This compost tin is so darn cute. It’s bigger than most but still fits the standard compost bags perfectly. It’s easy to clean, lightweight, and the lid is secure but doesn’t stick so it’s easy to lift with a finger while your hands and holding the veggie scraps. I am in love with it!!!

Great size, easy and well made. Love it!!!

We love the size and the look of the new compost bin. Definitely a step up from our plastic bucket. Tried a few areas in the kitchen before it landed here near the knives and cutting boards. Glad we purchased it!

Bought 2 as Christmas gifts for my daughters. They love them! Will be buying one for! myself too as soon as they are restocked.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Size just right

Love it! Looks good on my counter. Not overwhelming, a perfect size!

Love it!!

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!

Very functional and looks nice on the countertop.

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!

Great product. Doesn’t have any funky smells. Works perfect.

I didn't receive extra filters and it said I would receive 7.

I love this on my counter I get a lot of compliments on it!

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.

bags will start to leak if left in to long. very easy to use

There is nothing I dislike about this product but have decided I will need to order a larger one in the near future.

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!

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.

It’s nice looking, big but not too big, does the job perfectly.

I love it, but it’s difficult to keep the handle on. It keeps popping off the bin.

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.!!!

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.

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!!!)

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.

Works perfectly

Love the sleek design and attractive print of my countertop composted. Arrived exactly as described and quickly. Works great!

Aok

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!

Attractive and well made

You’d be surprised how much compostable stuff you produce. Def recommend those product. It looks cute and never smells.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great bin. It doesn't smell at all. :)

Love the design, size, handle, filter, and all around cuteness of it!

Project came as expected and very quickly. The bin is sturdy. I love that its only 1 gal, since we are just 2 people.

Very good

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.

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.

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.

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.

Love the looks, no odor, had holds alot

Perfect size for the countertop! Works great!

Absolutely adore this little compost bin.

Great design, easy to use and clean, love it.

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.

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

Love it!

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.

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.

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.

Does not stink. Looks very appealing on my kitchen counter, not industrial at all, very artsy.

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

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.

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.

Wonderful and exactly as described!

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great add to the kitchen for putting in your yard waste.

The charcoal filter keeps the smell in and it looks good sitting on the counter.

It’s cute and contains the smell!

Easy to use

I love it

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.

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.

Was larger than I expected, but works well at the head of our corner sink. Looks very fresh and appealing. Would highly recommend it.

Works well and looks great on the kitchen counter. The handle comes off easily but is easy to put back on.

Well made, nice size for limited counter top space

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.

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.

Looks good
