This kitchen compost waste pail is ventilated on all sides, including the top and bottom. The pail is hinged to allow hanging it inside the cabinet door under your kitchen sink.
It is made for use with our kitchen compost bags, which breathe naturally, allowing heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This process allows food waste to dry, thus reducing the rate of bacterial build-up which causes odor.
For general information on composting, see our guidelines for How to Make Compost.
