She just bought a bamboo compost pail two weeks or so ago and I have to say, I am jealous. I always thought having a compost bucket in your kitchen was a sure recipe for fruit flies, mold and bad smells, but I had to take it all back when I viewed this thing in action.
She can put all the kitchen scraps generated by her family of five in there and she only has to take it out once per week or so. It looks absolutely beautiful, and best of all, it has redundant filters so there is absolutely no smell!
Not only does the bamboo look great in her kitchen but the bamboo plant is a fast growing, easy to feed, non-resource intensive renewable resource. Unlike many trees that take several decades to mature, bamboo for wood can be grown in just a couple seasons, making it one of the most green materials in existence.
The compost pail is also very resilient, making it a far superior material over, say, ceramic, when it comes to things falling off the counter (hey, it happens) and unlike some of the stainless steel ones out there, it doesn't show off every single mark and fingerprint.
One of my favorite things about this compost holder is that the plastic inner liner comes out and can be run through the dishwasher. This means that between the very effective filters and the regular internal cleanings this compost pail receives, it's probably more sanitary than her kids most of the time!
The outside can also be washed in case something should get on it, though that must be done by hand. That's okay though, because it scrubs off easily. The lid is also very tight fitting, meaning kind's hands won't be able to get in where they shouldn't, and the handles are comfortable and easy to use.
This compost pail looks good, smells great, works great . . . what's not to like? I know I want one.
This compost pail is a great addition to any kitchen if you have a compost pile, and if you don't, why not? They're a great way to reduce the amount of kitchen and lawn scraps that go into your local landfill. And with this bamboo pail, it doesn't even have to lead to a smelly kitchen!
