Every gardener and ecology-minded citizen agrees that composting your kitchen scraps is a terrific idea. Unfortunately the reality of a stinky can of garbage on your counter can be pretty discouraging. Behold the eco-friendly, nose-friendly solution in the form of this sleek and stylish pail. Two charcoal filters in the lid keep odors under control. A convenient handle allows you tote a gallon's worth of garbage out to the compost heap where it belongs.

Summary: Perfect solution
Comment: I had become accustom to having a bowl of scraps sit on my kitchen for several days before taking it out to the compost pile. This is a clean, stylish accent to my kitchen. I love it and would buy it again. Probably will for that matter as I think it is a great gift for friends who garden!

Summary: Good Kitchen Pail
Comment: This pail works very well. I have kept kitchen scraps in it for up to two weeks with no odor. It is easy to keep clean and easy to change filters. It was a good investment.

Summary: Perfect except for the Fruit Flies
Comment: I bought this compost pail eight months ago, and am very happy I did. I have reduced the amount of weekly trash and in combination with a composter in my postage-stamp-size backyard, have set up a system where I'm making great compost for my potted plants, my little garden, my house plants. The compost pail, which sits on my kitchen counter, is virtually odorless (I haven't changed the filter yet--I just periodically rinse it).
The only reason I'm giving it four rather than five stars is that now, in the warmer months, it's attracting fruit flies. Every time I lift the lid a little swarm of them (5 or 6) flies out. They fly right back in, however, for it's Paradise Hotel for them. I don't think the charcoal filter does anything in terms of keeping them out. I may try a bit of mosquito netting and see if that helps.
As a noveau environmentalist, I'd advise against what the other reviewer suggests: don't use a plastic trash bag! That kind of defeats the purpose, for plastic is a big environmental problem. This pail is small and easy to clean. I just dump the scraps into my composter, then rinse the pail with water that I pour into the composter thereafter. If you're fussy, you can wash it with a bit of dish soap in the kitchen sink. Mine, thanks to coffee grounds (worms love 'em), fruit and veggie peelings, actually never gets at all funky.
Generally it's recommended that you not put any animal byproducts or grains in your compost--among other things, those are what usually makes things smelly and can also lead to disease or to strange things sprouting up in your soil.

Summary: Great product
Comment: I love this product. It's great for all the fruit and vegetable peeling, coffee grounds, egg shells and various food scraps. I don't like putting food scraps in my trash can and have recently started a compost heap so this is a great addition to my kitchen. It looks great on the counter. I really like the stainless steel finish. It matches all the rest of my appliances. I use Glad one gallon twist tab storage bags to line it. I didn't want colored trash bags to distract from the stainless color. The two charcoal filters in the lid really contain any ordors that would arise. I highly recommend this compost pail!
