OXO Good Grips Compost Bin

OXO's countertop compost bin is a well-designed catch-all for kitchen scraps between trips to a curbside compost pickup, backyard pile, or drop-off site. It's just a holding container, not a composter itself, and its charcoal filter needs periodic replacement to keep odor down.

Pros

✓Removable inner bucket and compostable-bag-friendly design make emptying genuinely easy to clean
✓Snap-lock lid keeps fruit flies and odor down between empties
✓Compact enough for an apartment counter without feeling like a trash can

Cons

✗It's only a holding bin — you still need a curbside program, drop-off, or backyard pile to actually compost the scraps
✗Replacement charcoal filters are an ongoing cost and easy to forget
✗All-plastic construction, not a low-impact material choice itself
