Ratings & Reviews for simplehuman Compost Bin with Magnetic Docking Caddy, 5 Liter White Steel Indoor Kitchen Hinged Lid Trash Can

Composting made easy

It is really the perfect size for two people - seals well so you don’t smell things. Fits on the counter or under the sink so it is easily accessible. If only my municipality would make collection as easy!

Second compost caddy

We purchased our second one for bathroom and mounted on inside cabinet door. Works well for mounting it or for hook it onto another large bin as a compost. Like the freshening pods too and the compost liners. Works well and simplehumans products never disappoints .We use a lot of their products. Thank you

Stylish and Practical

The dual compartment with caddy set is marvelous. I separate waste into compost, recyclable, and general types and was looking for a stylish solution. The caddy is magnetically fastened to the main container and my visiting family was in awe when I removed the caddy, placed it on the dining table and dumped leftover food scraps into it! So far I have no complaints. I know a reviewer was worried about the container scuffing the wall but I just put a small number in the back of the container and i...

Sleek but small

Looks great on our counter and has a small footprint, but it’s a little too small for our family of 4. We fill it almost daily, and that’s a lot of compost bags to go through. The size also makes it hard to scrape off scraps from your plate or bowl without spilling. But it does look a lot nicer on the counter than the old plastic one we had…

Compost caddy

I got the brushed steel version. I like it so far. I flip the lid so that the back part that you use to attach to the bigger can is on the front. It makes it easier to carry because I put it underneath the sink.

Composting queen

Love this addition to our trash can. We got a composter for our yard so this will definitely cut down on the back and forth. I’ve found that it holds in the smell really well, so have no fear if you’re mulling over this purchase!

clean lines and easy to access

No more messy pails. This is so much easier to use in the kitchen when doing prep work. Ease of opening, cleaning and bag removal. A plus+

Smart little waste helper

Does a great job containing odor from the big garbage bin

Almost perfect

I love this compost caddy which I use as a counter top compost collector. (I don't pair it to the trash can because I have in drawer trash cans.) It looks very nice on my counter, shape is excellent to conserve space, it has a nice design and works well. The only problem is the lid hinge is not that strong and eventually broke so I had to buy a whole new compost caddy and they're not inexpensive.

Useful and sleek

I love the function of having this attached to my trash can. It makes life so much easier when cooking. It’s nice not having something sitting on my counter or forgotten under my sink. Love this purchase!

Great look, quality and utility.

Great look, quality and utility. Love how it attaches to barrel. Highly recommend.

I love the caddy. However,

I love the caddy. However, it does not fit close to the trash can. I would also like to thank you for the quick service of replacing my original order that went missing.

Love this!

Love being able to put this on the counter near my work area. Placing it back on the large garbage can when I am finished is the icing on the cake.

great appliance and very easy

great appliance and very easy to install. bags are easy to use and hold up much better than most compostable bags.
