10 Easy Pieces: Stylish Kitchen Compost Pails

October 29, 2019

The average American family throws away 20 pounds of food a month.  This is the equivalent of stumbling upon a buried pirate’s chest full of jewels and gold doubloons–and then leaving it there to rot.

A kitchen compost pail is the solution. Look for one with a wide mouth (to make it easy to throw in scraps of all sizes); a tight-fitting lid (to trap odors inside), and a handle (or handles) for easy transport to the backyard compost bin.

Here are 10 simple and sturdy countertop compost pails for a kitchen:

A large \1.3-gallon Compost Bin With Plastic Liner is dishwasher safe; \$\29.99 from Amazon.
