5L Compost Bin-Blue

It's the right size for a home kitchen. I was on the fence for a while about getting a compost bin rather than using a repurposed bucket, but it's so well designed that I'm not sorry in the least. It's sturdy enough. About the volume of a gallon of milk. The included hanging options are great. The lid hangs off the opening in a convenient way when you are using it and fits neatly when you are done. Really no complaints.

I purchased the Stonespace small indoor compost bin in green, and it's been a great addition to my kitchen. The color is vibrant and appealing, and the size-1.3 gallon/5 liters-is perfect for fitting neatly on my countertop without taking up too much space. It holds enough for a day or two of regular composting, depending on what we cook. Sometimes we empty it sooner, while other times it lasts several days to even a week, which is very convenient. The bin comes with a lid, which I love for keeping everything contained after depositing vegetable scraps, fruit peels, coffee filters and grounds, eggshells, and other compostable materials. While I made the purchase in winter and haven't experienced fruit flies or ants yet, it does effectively keep regular flies and stinkbugs out. The handle is another thoughtful design feature-it makes it easy to move the bin to my cooking and cutting area while meal prepping, and it's equally handy for carrying outdoors to the compost pile. To me, the handle feels sturdy enough for regular use. The bin includes a cupboard door mount accessory that's simple to install-you just hook it to the door and close it. While I personally prefer storing the bin on my countertop, as mounting it would interfere with my kitchen setup, I can see how it could be useful for others. However, I found the mount to be a little "wobbly" and am unsure if it could withstand frequent bumps or being knocked into. The rectangular plastic shape makes cleaning a breeze. I simply rinse it out when emptying and give it a thorough wash when needed. Because it is easy to clean, I don't bother with compost bin liner bags, which saves money and avoids generating extra waste. Composting itself should not produce foul odors (as long as you avoid meat and dairy), but the lid does a great job of containing the natural smells inside the bin. I also appreciate the accurate description of the size, which helps ensure the bin suits your needs. I like that the bin is made of plastic instead of metal. This way I don't have to worry about the bin rusting or leaving marks on my countertop. The bin comes in four color options-green, black, light blue, and white-offering a choice for different preferences. The price for the product seems to be reasonable, especially since we use it almost every day. I haven't encountered issues with scratching or smudging, as I only use the bin for composting, but I find the sturdy design works well for its intended purpose. While the description mentions it can be used as a trash bin for other rooms, I'm quite happy using it for collecting compost in my kitchen. Overall, this compact and functional compost bin has made composting easier and more convenient for my household. I'm really pleased with this purchase, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a practical indoor solution to get you to compost regularly.

love that you can use the wall clip to set aside then the drawer clip for under the counter when more actively in use. perfect size and smells are contained

Loved my first one so much I got a 2nd. So now we have one for compost and one for trash. Perfect for my tiny apartment. They both fit on the same door, one on the inside and one on the outside. Makes cleaning up in the kitchen a breeze. I didn’t even realize for months that the top can hang on the side when using it. Awesome!

This has been an ideal asset at the office, put it right by garbage can so people can clean their plates easily. Easy to hang on the wall, came with everything you need.

This trash can has exceeded my expectations! I replaced an old IKEA trash can that hung inside my kitchen cabinet, and I could not be happier with this new bin! The color (a dusty cyan blue), the sturdiness, the removable lid that can hang out of the way on the side of the bin, the hanging choices - it comes with THREE -an adhesive hanger, a screw in hanger, and an over the door hook, which is wide and sturdy. It has everything you could want in a hanging bin. I can repurpose my plastic grocery bags with this size bin, instead of buying more garbage bags. I might hang a small adhesive hook on the outside of two of the sides to help hold the grocery bag handles just in case, but even without the hooks, slipping hasn't been a problem. This looks so nice inside the cabinet. I'm no longer embarrassed to tell guests where the trash can is with this nice looking bin in there!

Love these bins! Perfect for my small apartment. It fits right under the sink, contains odors, and was easy to install. The color is great, bringing a little style to an otherwise utilitarian item. It is light weight, holds a good amount of material and is easy to clean. Super excited to have this and highly recommend.

I like a lot about this bin. We went from a smaller bin to this one and I LOVE the larger size. It allows for longer time between dumping and less piling up of organics on the counter! I also love that it fits under our sink. It’s easy to swing the cabinet open, lift the lid and put stuff in. You can also easily take off of the cabinet and move to where you’re prepping dinner for easier access if you have a lot at one time. However, I gave it 3 starts because the handle is flimsy which could be a huge issue carrying this bin out to our larger organic bin. It pops out from the sides very easily and I’m afraid it’s going to drop and dump our compost all over. So I have to carry the bin in my arms. Not a huge deal if it’s clean, but I would prefer to use the handle. It would also be great if the lid was somehow attached so it stayed on the bin when open. I didn’t lower the rating because of this. It’s just a nice to have. I find that I usually need 2 hands when putting stuff in so I have to find a place for the lid while doing it. The lid isn’t super clean so….

This works well for a small space. Our cupboard had been modified by the previous owner and we felt lucky to find this. It also gives you three options for attaching, which was handy.
