Description
Product Overview
The Recycling Rules indoor compost bin is a compact, rectangular container designed for everyday kitchen waste management. Measuring 7.5″ wide, 5.5″ deep and 7″ high, it offers a capacity of 298.75 cubic inches while occupying minimal counter space. Constructed from BPA‑free #2 HDPE plastic, the bin contains a minimum of 35% post‑consumer recycled content, delivering durability and a reduced environmental footprint. The unfinished green finish blends with most kitchen décor, and the manual‑lift lid securely contains odors. Its lightweight design makes it easy to move between the countertop, trash can, or refrigerator.
Usage
This bin is perfect for homeowners, apartment dwellers, and anyone looking to start composting indoors. Clip it to the side of a kitchen trash can for quick scrap collection, place it on the countertop for daily use, or store it in the fridge to keep fruit and vegetable peels fresh until you’re ready to transfer them to an outdoor compost system. The odor‑locking lid ensures that your kitchen stays smelling clean, making it suitable for open‑plan living spaces and shared households.

FAQ
Can I use this bin for liquid waste?
The bin is designed for solid food scraps. For liquids, we recommend a separate container with a splash‑proof lid.
How often should I empty the bin?
Empty the bin when it reaches about three‑quarters full or when you’re ready to transfer the material to an outdoor compost system, typically every few days for a typical household.
Is the lid completely airtight?
The manual‑lift lid provides a tight seal that significantly reduces odors, but it is not a vacuum‑sealed system. Regular cleaning helps maintain freshness.
Can I place the bin in the freezer?
Yes, the bin can be stored in the freezer to keep scraps fresh longer, especially if you collect them over several days before composting.
What is the warranty?
Recycling Rules offers a one‑year limited warranty against manufacturing defects for this product.
