10 Reviews: Best Compost Bins for Kitchen (Apr 2024)

Well, let’s begin with the most affordable product. The EPICA compost bin is made of stainless steel which resists rust and leaks. Your purchase comes with a thick replaceable activated-charcoal filter that traps any unwanted odors from your kitchen. Just like the bin, you can effortlessly wash the filter with soap and water.

I am Very Happy with this purchase. The bin is a good size, yet not imposing on my kitchen counter. It is very solidly made, with a strong handle. I do not expect this to dent, or show knicks either as it is not light weight. The charcoal filter is very thick & does not let any smells escape. This is an Excellent bin! I Highly recommend this product & would buy from this company again.

Don’t let its size fool you. The Full Circle compost bin can accommodate your kitchen waste with a perfect .85 gallon size. You can immediately put the vegetable scraps in it while cooking. What’s more, the attractive design does not interfere with your kitchen decor at all.

We have a backyard compost container and until I got this container for the kitchen we tended to have egg shells, banana peels etc. always waiting to be taken out to the compost pile. This is a nice storage container, holds in the odor and looks attractive.

This compost bin by Spigo comes with a retro design and is complemented with a removable basket, stainless steel exterior, and activated charcoal filter that makes your composting process odor-free. Its easy use makes the chic bin a suitable medium to introduce sustainable lifestyles to children.

I bought this metal compost bucket for my kitchen to replace my ugly and smelly method of using old plastic deli containers to hold compost. Now it’s no longer stinky and it’s all contained in this nice looking bucket with the word COMPOST in it so your guests know exactly where to put those food scraps. Big improvement!

If you want to start composting but are worried about flies filling your kitchen, this is a sign that you must use this Full Circle compost bin. This one comes in a rectangular shape and has a capacity of 1.5 gallons. It has been designed as well as possible so as to let the water flow through for less odor so as not to attract the flies.

It’s perfect for my kitchen. I like that it’s vented to keeps odors at bay. I’ve been using it for around 2 months now and did not have a problem with the metal/plastic thing that keeps the bag in place.

The Relaxed Gardener presents a Kitchen Compost Bin with an appealing cream color, making it match with all kinds of decorations. The exterior is labeled “COMPOST” to tell family members where to dispose of leftovers. A plastic liner bucket adds to the appeal and keeps the outer bin from leaking.

I absolutely LOVE this little compost container! It is the perfect size and the antique white color goes great with my other kitchen containers. The removable/washable liner and filter are super handy. It holds a good amount of kitchen scraps before you need to empty it and I have noticed no smell whatsoever. Very happy, thank you to The Relaxed Gardener!

The problem with most compost bins is they are quite noticeable, but not with this one. Norpro is ready to give your kitchen countertop a pretty touch with its Ceramic Floral Compost Keeper. Your guests will not notice that all the composting is going on and not a single stink bother them.

Very nice. Used for 4 years now. Easy to clean. Keeps gnats at bay. Great intermediate container. Empty into outside 5 gallon bucket with red pepper you keep varmint at away or goes straight to compost.

I love this compost can. It is sleek and looks modern. Because of the double filter, no smells permeate. It is perfect.

Who knew composting could be this stylish and easy? Let Bamboozle Graphite Composter prove it! This sleek, modern compost bin is made of bamboo fibers with two alluring color choices: graphite and natural white. Any leftovers will be processed beautifully in this bin. You won’t mind leaving this compost crock on your kitchen counters.

It’s hard to make a compost bin look aesthetically pleasing on the kitchen counter but they did it. It’s beautiful and works perfectly.

Are you getting serious about composting and need something bigger? The Quest Worm Factory is a popular pick for a small worm composting bin. The package includes 4 trays of neatness, a rack, and a piece of Spigot. It fits well under the sink size and is ideal for users living in a small space.

It's a Great Starter! It works well, has been sturdy and worms won't stop multiplying so I think they enjoy it! I'm getting "tea"

Our last recommendation comes with a whopping price tag, but for those who fancy artistic goods, it’s truly heaven! Uncommon Goods always manages to steal the attention with its aesthetically pleasing products. With this Living Composter, you can collect up to two pounds of your peelings, eggshells, coffee grounds, and vegetable scraps for your garden compost.

This is a great small composter. Beautifully made and easy to use. Love it! The lid was a bit tight in the begining, but it fit well afterwards. Already adding worms and the compost is starting to look good! Not cheap but worth it, would definitely recommended!
