Norpro Ceramic Compost Keeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this thinking it would look better than stainless steel. We love to compost and this pail sure beats keeping a bucket on the counter. However, it is heavy and the handle is poorly made. When you life up the handle it comes off of the clunky clips on the side. This really needs to be redesigned.
We removed the poor handle after the first trip to the compost. The ceramic is not only heavy, but it is also much harder to keep clean that the stainless steel. The ceramic tends to pick up stains which are hard to scrub out. And of course there is always the fear of breaking it.
As long as the filter is kept clean and fresh, the pail emits no odors. Whether you choose stainless steel or ceramic, make sure you buy some extra filters. You'll be happy you did.

In addition to being perfectly sized for collecting food scraps for your garden or municipal composter--from potato peels and carrot tops to egg shells and coffee grounds--this 1-gallon compost keeper from Norpro also offers an attractive look for your kitchen. It features a smoother ceramic exterior in red that's also easy to clean. The tight fitting lid works in concert with an included charcoal filter to keep odors in the pail and not wafting through your kitchen. It also features a sturdy stainless steel handle. It measures 10-1/2 by 8 by 7-1/4 inches (HxWxD). The interior and exterior clean easily with soapy sponge.

Norpro Degradable Compost Bags, 50 Pieces Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is not a plant-based product, and does not belong in your compost. I looked up degradable versus biodegradable. Degradable plastics are still made from ordinary petroleum-based granules, called nurdles. These raw plastic pellets that are commonly found in our oceans do not contain any additives which helps break down the plastic. While they do break down into smaller particles, chemical residues eventually show up in the food chain and our bodies. The bottom line is that any plastic that is petroleum-based will contribute to the pollution of our environment and has a harmful effect on human and animal health.

This product is legal but inappropriate. Do you want to go green? Get rid of plastics. (If you don't want to stop using the bags you have left, at least recycle them, don't put them in your compost.)

BioBag MaxAir Compost Bucket 1 ea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had this compost bucket for a year and we are really happy with it.
It may not be the prettiest, but it is by far the best one we've found.
What we like:
* It has a relatively low footprint, especially considering the capacity. It usually takes us about 2 days to fill it up.
* Convenient to use -It has a hinged lid. When you are cooking, you can lift the lid, and it stays open. Once you are done, you just push it lightly to close.
* It closes well, so there are no odors escaping, and no chance for fruit flies to breed.
* When we first bought it, our place had a ton of happy fruit flies parading all over the kitchen. The fruit flies were gone within two weeks of getting the composter.
* We have it on our countertop, but it is small enough to store it under the sink. It is relatively light, and has a handle, so it is easy to take out and put it back in.
* The bags are fully compostable. They may seem pricey, but a package with 25 bags usually lasts a couple of months.
* Since the scraps go inside the compostable bag, the bucket itself stays relatively clean. With other, better looking compost buckets, you have to thoroughly clean out the container each time you empty it, and those rotten scraps can get kind of gross -- not a problem with this one.
* Unlike other systems, there is no filter to purchase.
Overall, we are very happy with this compost bucket.
