Countertop Compost Bin - Making your everyday moments beautiful is my mission in clay, and my countertop compost bin stands up to the task. Transform kitchen composting into a beautiful practice as you recycle those kitchen scraps, coffee grinds and more in my lovingly handcrafted countertop compost bin. Order with or without the optional charcoal filter, although you can also easily add one at home if you find it's needed for odor management or pest control.
These are made to order and take several weeks. I typically make a batch of 8 at a time, so if I have a pre-bisqued bin that just needs to be glazed and glaze fired when you place your order, it will generally ship in two to three weeks. If I need to make a new run of them, turnaround is more like 5-6 weeks. Occasionally, I have some pre-glazed in stock as well; if you’re in a rush, send me an email to see what I have in stock at the moment. Thanks!
I can glaze them in any of my studio glazes or glaze combinations, so feel free to ask if you’re looking for a different finish. I’m also happy to tweak the sizing to match your needs; please just convo me about it! For reference, mine measures about 8-1/2” tall (to the top of the handle) and is about 7-1/2” in diameter (including the handles).
I created my original compost bin for my own kitchen, because my countertop garbage bowl was too small, too smelly, and an unsightly fruit fly trap. This has quickly become one of my most popular items! The lid has holes in it to provide air circulation, and the angled flange makes the addition of an optional charcoal filter easy. Simply purchase a charcoal filter (you can get them on Amazon), trim it to size, and pop it into the lid. You can also order one from me when you purchase your compost bin, and I'll do the trimming for you.
I use mine every day and love, love, love it! I don't use a filter in mine, but then I dump it at least every other day and more often in summer when I'm cooking almost exclusively with fresh ingredients from my own organic vegetable garden.
I throw these on the wheel, add the handles at the trimming stage, dry them slowly and then fire them twice before sanding the bottoms smooth to ensure they won’t scratch your countertops. Handmade takes time, but it’s worth it!
Thanks for composting and caring for our earth and our soil! Composting is great for the soil and great for our environment. If you know a cook who also loves to garden, this Countertop Compost Bin is one of the most thoughtful and purposeful gifts you can give them.
Wishing you many happy hours in the garden and the kitchen!
NOTE: As of 10/2021, the shino glaze in my product photos is no longer available due to the (now) prohibitive cost of one of the glaze ingredients. If you've ordered an item in shino in the past from me, please know that I've saved the last of this glaze for any replacement orders that may come in down the road. :-)

These are lovingly handcrafted using my studio reclaim clay (where better to recycle, right?), and may vary slightly in size and/or finish.
I use hand-mixed, lead-free glazes for your safety. These bins can be placed in the dishwasher, although hand-washing is always recommended for handmade pottery.
If you have any questions, please just convo me!
