Full Circle Scrap Happy – Food Scrap Collector and Freezer Compost Bin - Hanging Kitchen Countertop Bin for Fruit and Vegetable Waste, Slate

Had to start separating organic waste. This fits nicely under the sink. Easy to clean.

This silicone bin is a happy addition to my kitchen. Being able to freeze compostables to store them until trash day means no stinky, decaying mess sitting outside in my green bin for days. First - it works well as advertised - hooking it onto a drawer just below my kitchen counter when I am chopping vegetables. I fill the bin with compostables, then put it in my kitchen freezer. When compostables are frozen, I open a small biodegradable or paper bag on my kitchen counter, invert the bin into the bag, then push down the bin with both hands. The silicone sides of the bin collapse and the frozen compostables slide out of the bin into the bag. Then the bin can be rinsed and dried, ready for the next batch of compostables. I put the newly filled bag of already frozen compostables into a freezer in my garage. On trash day I take those bags to my green recycle bin, empty the contents into the bin and put the used bags in my trash can. I have an additional covered ceramic bowl in my kitchen to collect compostables. If my silicone bin is full in the freezer, once I empty it I can immediately fill it again from the kitchen bowl and the bin goes back into the freezer. The other advantage here is that if you put frozen compostables into a bag and put the bag in the freezer, the bag is easily emptied on trash day. The frozen compostables do not get stuck to the bag. If you put wet compostables in a bag and put that bag in the freezer, the compostables get stuck to the sides of the bag and are difficult to remove. The silicone bin is is working great for me - I’m really glad I purchased it.

I love the size! I hang it from a drawer above the cabinet where the trash is located - it fits great without getting in the way of opening the trash below & helps to remember to use it for food scraps before putting in garbage in the trash.I also like that its silicone - I was worried it would be flimsy on the countertop when performing food prep, but not all - it stands on its own holding its shape.We have problems with fruit flies so I empty it into our food scraps bag in the freezer frequently - but I also find adding coffee grounds keeps food odors at bay.I looked at all the options on Amazon and across the web for DAYS trying to figure out which size and shape would work best for our process before settling on this and Im so glad I did!Ordering another for our lake cabin and would definitely recommend to others!

I would say i prepare a bit less an average amount of vegetables on a weekly basis and it is just me and my boyfriend so it lasts almost a weeks worth before its full. If i have large stuff, like lots of egg shells or something i just take them right now to the compost rather than filling up my little freezer one. I was reserved on buying this because a lot of people said it was small and i am all about making things easy, so the thought of more trips to the compost bin almost diverted me from buying this, but it hasnt been a problem at all.What i dislike:-it is a bit small as the other viewers posted, but really, how big of one can you have for the freezerto not take up a big amount of room in the average freezer.-it can create odors in the freezer with potent things like onion scraps, etc.i did not notice tastes/smells transferring to any un-used food in the freezerWhat i love:-no more gnats!! it immediatly took care of my gnat problem.-no more odor on the counter (except in the freezer sometimes, which only escapes when you open the freezer)-the hinge on the outside to hang on a drawer to just scrape the scraps from thecounter/cutting board into the bin is an awesome feature.-the material is a really nice silicon that freezes scraps into a nice block AND it is not a hassle toget it out either, i just tap this bin on the side of my outdoor compost and it comes out in 1 wholefrozen block-easy to clean, just rinse out or pop it in the dish washer-fits perfectly in the freezer doorI would highly recommend. If you are more than a family of a few or vegetarian where you will produce a lot of scraps, and you have the space in your freezer, get more than 1. If you are okay with making extra trips to the outdoor compost and dont want to lose freezer space, 1 has been just fine with me.

I love that this bin has a hook to attach to cabinets. It's easy to clean and is helpful to keep in the kitchen to collect compostable scraps and waste and move to compost bin or pile!

We needed a compost container that I could hide under our kitchen sink. I mounted it to one of our cabinet doors, and it works perfectly. Looked small when it arrived, but holds more than I thought it would. You probably wouldn't want it to hold much more than that, anyway.

I'm a fan of this being able to hook into a shelf if I want, and that it also expands a bit when it gets full because it's silicone so I get a bit of wiggle room.

I have used this product for a couple of weeks now and I love it. I will say I love it mostly for the fact that is fits so nicely in the freezer and for me is the only way I am going to keep fruit flies away unless I dump my compost every day. Plus with it being in the freezer it keeps away the stink and spoilage that can happen in counter top composts if you leave stuff in there too long. This is small but it still holds a lot. The counter top one I used to have probably did hold more but by the time it did get full the bottom was nasty and I hated washing it out. After dumping this freezer one it was almost spotless! This doesn't hook well on the type of drawers I have. It can work but that was not a big priority for me anyway. I just scrape my scraps from my cutting board into the container or just throw things in there by hand. Like I said my reason for buying this was to keep fruit flies away and to avoid my compost pail from getting all yucky! This does just that. It does take up a little space in my freezer but frees up space on my counter top.

It may sound odd, but this is one of the best things we've bought in a while. The flexible sides and hook make this perfect for freezing scraps to take to the compost.

The Full Circle compost bin is sturdy and easily fits under my sink/on the door under the sink. I have tried a lot of different containers explicitly designed for under the sink - they were either too big or of bad quality that did not last long. I can also use small trash bags (glad or others) to store the food waste/compost and dispose of it at the end of the day. It is also easy to store the container away when not in use. If you struggle to find a product for your compost, just get this.

I thought this had a lid… useless

The. Nay sayers in the house scoffed at this. They said I’m not using that, it gets in the way, it won’t reduce the amount of garbage in the bin. But it does and everyone is using it and it doesn’t get in the way. It’s also the perfect size that it doesn’t stay full for long enough to smell. I guess it needs to be taken out to the compost more often but the act adds more steps to your day. Highly recommend.

Sad I know for a 50 year old man to be excited about a kitchen gadget but this is useful and so time saving!
