By now all of you readers are becoming experts at composting your kitchen and lawn scraps in order to keep your plants, lawns, and gardens in tip-top shape. Armed with information, there is no excuse anymore to be using those poisonous formulae that contribute to toxic runoff and ill health. Using the organic materials we find right in our kitchens and backyards that break down so beautifully, we add precious nutrients to our soil while helping to create a cleaner planet. Now you can collect your kitchen scraps efficiently by placing them in a handy compost container that blends in beautifully with kitchen decor.

The Norpro Ceramic Compost Keeper is a small, lightweight unit that comes with a tight fitting lid that holds a charcoal filter that prevents odors from escaping. With its stainless steel handle and easy to clean body, this compost keeper holds up to one gallon of food scraps that can then be transferred to your outdoor compost pile or bin. Instead of storing your veggie and fruit peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, and the like in plastic bags, you can place them inside the compost keeper, which easily sits on any kitchen countertop.

Once the unit is full, just add the contents to your compost pile, turning the scraps into what you have collected there. Wash your compost keeper with soap and water, and you are ready to refill once again. Simple, handy, and efficient, this smart little compost container helps to keep your scraps tidy while they wait to become nutritious mulch for your waiting garden.

The Norpro Ceramic Compost Keeper is easily ordered via Amazon.
