I’ve had my EZ grip stainless steel compost pail for about a week now and I have to say, I could not be more pleased.
I have always considered myself fairly eco-friendly, and I’ve had a compost pile in the yard for quite some time now, but up until I bought this thing, I’ve been stuck with trying to remember to take out the fruit peelings and coffee grounds as soon as I was done with them.
For a while, we attempted to use a plastic container on the counter, but it invariably started to smell horrible and we ended up with a nasty fly mess, so that ended as quickly as it started.
Now at long last though, I think that I’ve found the solution.
This elegant little compost pail fits right on my (always spotless, of course) kitchen counter and can hold up to a week’s worth of kitchen scraps before its full. All the while, because of the filter, it doesn’t smell! To make things even better, because it is stainless steel, I don’t have to worry about it getting knocked off the counter and cracking, unlike that ugly old plastic bucket.
The handle on it is great also, as I can carry it like a teapot without having to worry about grabbing it by the wrong part and spilling it all over the floor. The other handles are also great, easy to use and very comfortable. The lid fits on very tightly so I don’t have to worry about anything escaping or anyone getting into it.
Someone with pets or toddlers should know what I am talking about. This compost pail really is very well designed.
Because it is shiny steel, it is easy to keep clean. A quick swipe of glass cleaner, or in very bad cases a sponge and it is good as the day I bought it. The fingerprints I can live with, but if I really wanted to, I could also take care of those easily as well.
If you have a compost pile I really recommend this thing to make getting your compost out to the pile next to hassle free. If you don’t already compost your kitchen scraps and lawn extras, there’s no time like the present to get started. It’s a great way to reduce the amount of food waste going into the landfill and fertilize your garden as well!
