Q: Do compost bins smell?
Not with this one. Stainless steel resists the odor absorption that turns plastic compost pails sour over time, and the tight-fitting lid keeps smells contained between trips outside.

These stainless-steel compost pails won't take on the smell of onion scraps or the color of beet juice (as plastic containers often do) and are handsome enough to keep on the countertop if you wish.
The small pail holds up to 4 litres (1.06 U.S. gallons) of material and measures 7 1/2" high by 8" in diameter. The large pail holds up to 6 litres (1.6 U.S. gallons) and measures 8 1/2" high by 9 1/2" in diameter.
Each includes a lid and a stainless-steel carrying handle. Just needs a quick rinse to clean.
An excellent-quality product.
Not with this one. Stainless steel resists the odor absorption that turns plastic compost pails sour over time, and the tight-fitting lid keeps smells contained between trips outside.
This pail is sized for everyday kitchen scraps such as produce trimmings, coffee grounds and eggshells. Stainless steel won't stain or hold onto odors the way a plastic pail does with the same waste.
The 4 litre pail suits a household that empties it every day or two, while the 6 litre size works well as a larger kitchen compost pail for less frequent emptying.
Just rinse the stainless steel compost bin under water; there's no scrubbing or soaking needed since stainless steel doesn't absorb residue the way plastic can.
