Q: Do compost bins smell?
This ceramic compost bin shouldn't: an activated charcoal filter in the lid absorbs food odors, and the glazed surface won't retain smells the way plastic can.
XG144 - Porcelain Compost Pail
Special buy. Limited stock.
Suitable for countertop use, this is an attractive and durable porcelain compost pail. It has an activated charcoal filter in the lid to absorb food odors and, unlike plastic, the glazed surface resists staining, won’t retain odors and cleans easily.
Measuring 9 1/2" tall (including the lid) by 6 1/4" in diameter, it holds 2.75 litres (2.5 qt) of kitchen scraps. Handle is stainless steel. Replacement filters (that should be changed every three to six months) are available separately.
This ceramic compost bin shouldn't: an activated charcoal filter in the lid absorbs food odors, and the glazed surface won't retain smells the way plastic can.
It's sized for everyday kitchen scraps such as fruit and vegetable peelings, holding 2.75 litres before you empty it into your outdoor compost pile or bin.
Keep it on the counter to collect scraps as you cook, then empty it into your compost pile or bin once it's full; the charcoal filter keeps odors down in the meantime.
Replace it every three to six months; replacement filters are available separately.
