QualiaZero 1 gal Multipurpose Plastic Countertop Kitchen Trash Can

So my mother has kept egg shells, coffee grounds, & veggie scraps in a used bread bag, lying in her kitchen sink since I can remember! When I saw this bin I wondered why I hadn't thought of this before. Not only is this vessel attractive, it can hold quite a bit of stuff before heading to the compost pile. An important feature is that the top comes off easily for my elderly mother & yet it also seals in odors from the compost. The outside has a nice, modern stainless steel finish that cleans up nicely & does not show fingerprints. Inside is a durable plastic that does not seem to hold onto odors. This container could be used for so many things, but is the perfect find for a neat, odor-free way to hold food scraps to later be composted. I definitely recommend this item!

I really enjoy my countertop can for scraps. It is a clever way to collect beneficial waste to add to my compost pile. Since I have a hose near my compost pile, it is easy to rinse my can out and add it also to the compost pile. Some days it seems I could use two cans. I find that once a day I make my journey to the compost pile with my kitchen scraps. I did notice some fruit flies so I placed an old jar that I punched holes in the metal top big enough for fruit flies. I put water and vinegar in the jar and it works great at killing the fruit flies. It too goes to the compost pile every few days. No more smelly open scrape dish on the counter. Love my countertop can and ease of use.
