KITCHEN COMPOST PAIL


This compact compost pail can fit anywhere in your kitchen. Throw kitchen scraps, such as vegetable and fruit peelings, cooked table scraps, eggshells, and stale bread, into the sturdy pail to produce nourishing fertilizer for your garden.


Why It’s Great: The pail is lined with a charcoal filter, which absorbs food odors. It creates the perfect starter compost for newly green homes.

$32
Available at Williams-Sonoma

My mother always had a covered plastic pail on the kitchen counter for this purpose.  This was something she always did and would use it to put in her flower gardens or to feed the pigs.  Her flower gardens were admired by many people.  At times travelers would stop and look at her beautiful roses and irises when they were in bloom.   My mother was being "green" before the term was even invented!
