Top 4 Kitchen Bins For Compost

Making your own compost is a surprisingly popular and growing activity for many environmentalists. It's a great way to reuse your own organic rubbish while simultaneously creating fantastic and free soil for your garden. You won't have to buy fertilizer and you'll be saving space in landfills.

Generally, you'll have a large compost bin outside and a smaller bin in your kitchen to hold your organic rubbish until you want to move it outside. There are plenty of resources online for those interested in starting their own compost, but I find it's a hassle to separate out organic rubbish and take it out to the garden every day. I've found a few kitchen bins that will make it easier to separate out your organic and regular rubbish without taking up extra counter or floor space.

1. The Hailo Trento Oko has two compartments, colour-coded to make your composting easier. One compartment can hold your biodegradable material and the other can hold regular waste – both compartments are removable for ease of use. The bin also has a wide foot pedal, so you don't have to try and open it when your hands are full of food, and a large opening at the top so you won't spill. Its design and style are a bit more basic than the other choices, but this bin is great for the family that just wants function.

2. The smaller Brabantia 20L pedal bin has a food trap for all of your organic rubbish. The bin is much too small for composting itself, which will have to happen outside anyway, but it's perfect for the single professional who only eats dinner at home or rarely cooks from scratch but enjoys having a garden. Less organic waste, less need of bin space. This Brabantia bin also boasts a stylish design with silent lid closure and a sturdy pedal mechanism.

3. The Brabantia Touch Top Recycler bin is an elegant choice. It has a straight back, so it will sit flush against your wall, but the front is an oval, making it surprisingly attractive. Like the other bins, it has two compartments, a smaller one for compostable waste and a bigger one for regular waste. The stainless steel lid is removable, so it's easy to get both bins out and clean up. In addition, the touch top opening is smooth and silent, and the bin has a plastic base to prevent it damaging the floor.

All Brabantia bins carry a five or ten year warranty, so you won't need to worry about replacing your bin for years.

4. If not as lovely as the simplehuman Butterfly bin, the simplehuman 46L Deluxe rectangular pedal bin will certainly get your composting job done better. The little blue bin is designed to hold your organic composting material, while the much larger black bin holds ordinary rubbish. The bin has an integrated stand, so it can stay open while you're peeling vegetables, and a wide pedal for maximum comfort. It's also bigger than the others, so it's perfect for the composting family, but will still sit snugly against a flat edge or wall and won't take up too much of your space.
