What I Like About My Brand New Stainless Steel Compost Pail

I’ve had my EZ grip stainless steel compost pail for about three weeks now and I have to say, I could not be more happy with my choice. I have always considered myself fairly eco-friendly, and I’ve had a compost pile in the back yard for quite a while now, but up until now, I’ve been stuck with trying to remember to take out the vegetable peelings and coffee grounds as soon as I was done with them. For some time, we used a plastic container on the counter top, but it invariably started to stink and we wound up with a nasty fly mess, so that ended as quickly as it began.

Now at long last though, I believe I have found the solution. This cute little compost pail fits right on my (always spotless, of course) kitchen counter and can hold up to a week’s worth of kitchen scraps before its full. All the while, because of the filter, it doesn’t stink! To make things much better, because it is stainless steel, I don’t have to worry about it getting bumped off the counter and cracking, unlike that ugly old plastic bucket.

The handle on it is great too, as I can carry it like a coffee pot without having to worry about grabbing it by the wrong part and spilling everything all over the floor. The other handles are nice too, easy to use and very comfortable. The lid fits on very tightly so I don’t have to worry about anything escaping or anyone getting into it. A person with with cats or toddlers should know what I am referring to. This compost pail really is very well made.

Because it is shiny steel, it’s easy to keep clean. A quick swipe of glass cleaner, or in really bad cases a sponge and it’s as good as the day I bought it. The fingerprints I can live with, but if I really wanted to, I could take care of those easily as well.

If you have a compost pile I highly recommend this thing to make getting your compost out to the pile nearly hassle free. If you don’t already compost your kitchen scraps and lawn extras, there’s no time like the present to get started. It’s a great way to reduce the amount of biodegradable food waste going into the landfill and fertilize your garden at the same time.
