FAQs
Is the compost caddy dishwasher safe?
No, both the enamel container and the bamboo lid should be hand washed to preserve the print and the integrity of the materials.
Can I put meat or dairy in this compost caddy?
It is generally recommended to only place fruit and vegetable scraps in countertop caddies to prevent strong odors and pests. Check your local composting guidelines.
What are the dimensions of the 2L caddy?
The caddy is designed for compact countertop convenience with a 2-liter capacity; specific height and diameter dimensions are optimized for standard kitchen worktops.
How do I keep the bamboo lid looking new?
You can periodically treat the bamboo lid with a food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out.
Does the bin come with a filter?
This model features a snug-fitting bamboo lid; it does not utilize disposable carbon filters, making it a low-maintenance, sustainable choice.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels tight or difficult to open
Bamboo is a natural material that can expand slightly in high humidity. Ensure the lid and the rim of the caddy remain dry.
Persistent odors from the bin
Ensure the caddy is emptied regularly. If odors persist, wash the interior with a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your compost caddy is simple: place it on a flat, dry section of your countertop away from extreme heat sources. To maintain the product, wipe the enamel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the floral print. The bamboo lid should be wiped clean and dried immediately; do not soak it in water as this can cause the wood to warp or crack. Periodically check that the lid seal remains clean to ensure odors stay trapped inside.
