13 Stylish Compost Bins for Your Small Kitchen: 2018

May 23,2024

I tried to find a stylish kitchen compost bin for my small apartment and found 13 options, including OXO Good Grips Easy Clean Compost Bin, Charcoal, Brabantia Sort & Go Waste Bin, Yellow, and Joseph Joseph Stack 4-Liter Food Waste Caddy in Graphite..
This Brabantia bin, also made of plastic, comes in unassuming gray and white, as well as a cheerful yellow or pale blue. It’s about the same volume as the OXO compost bin, but the bag fits snugly underneath the lid, so it’s a little easier to keep closed. It also comes with a mount for your wall, so you can hang it up if you have the space, rather than leave it on the counter or the floor. .
If you’re really concerned about odor, but you still want a system that looks nice, this food-waste bin from English housewares company Joseph Joseph has a ventilation system built into the lid to help mitigate the moisture, which can cause those funky compost smells. .
If you’re looking to wean yourself off of plastic, there are plenty of compost bins made of other materials, like this one, also featured in Karen’s roundup, that’s made of biodegradable bamboo fiber. It’s a slightly more elegant-looking pail than the OXO bin, but the holes give it away as a compost bin and not a normal food-storage container. .
This compost bin is made of ceramic and looks more like a cookie jar than a place to put food scraps, making it a relatively handsome addition to a countertop. .
This stainless-steel kitchen compost bin does look like a miniature version of Oscar the Grouch’s trash can on Sesame Street, but it’s still attractive enough to leave on your countertop or on display next to your trash can. .
Of course Goop sells the most beautiful wooden-and-steel compost bin that looks like a bread box or old-fashioned ashtray but still holds about six quarts of food scraps. .
If you’re really just hoping to hide your compost bin entirely from view, you can get a mountable compost bin. This one is, objectively, kind of unattractive, but since you can hang it on the inside of a cabinet, no one else has to see it except for you. .
You can also hide your compost bin in your freezer, with this silicone scrap collector from Scrap Happy. It’s got a hook, so you can keep it secured on the inside of your freezer door, and because it’s silicone, it’s super easy to clean out. All you have to do is push the silicone inside out and rinse. .
For those really tight on space, it might make sense to overhaul your entire waste setup and replace your existing kitchen trash can with this all-in-one tower from Joseph Joseph. It’s got a recycling bin at the bottom, as well as a built-in one-gallon compost bin that hides away in the main compartment, next to the trash. .
The Joseph Joseph all-in-one trash can also comes in a stainless-steel finish.
