FAQs

How often should I empty the compost bin?

Empty the bin as needed, typically every 2-3 days or when it is nearly full, to prevent overflow and minimize odors.

What can I put in the compost bin?

You can compost most fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Avoid meat, dairy, oily foods, and pet waste.

How do I clean the compost bin?

Wash the bin with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

How do I replace the filter?

The filter is located inside the lid. Simply remove the old filter and replace it with a new one. Replacement filters may be available to purchase.

What are the dimensions of the compost bin?

The dimensions are H20 x W15 x D15cm.

Is the bin suitable for outdoor use?

The bin is designed for indoor use. While it can be used for transferring compostable material to an outdoor composting system, it is not weather-resistant for long-term outdoor use.

Can I compost cooked food?

Generally, it's best to avoid composting large amounts of cooked food, especially those containing oils or sauces, as they can create odors and attract pests. Small amounts are usually fine.

Unpleasant odors are present.

Check the filter and replace it if necessary. Ensure the bin is emptied regularly, and that you are only adding appropriate compostable materials.

The bin is rusting.

Ensure the bin is kept dry. Clean up any spills immediately. If the rust is severe, consider replacing the bin.
