Product Information
Full details
The Folk Tile Compost Caddy is an essential accessory for eco-conscious home cooks who want to manage food waste efficiently without compromising on kitchen aesthetics. It is designed to sit neatly on your countertop, providing a convenient vessel for vegetable peelings and scraps before you transfer them to your main compost pile. While it offers a beautiful decorative accent, users should note that the ceramic construction is not airtight, meaning it is best suited for daily emptying rather than long-term storage of pungent waste.

FAQs
Is this compost caddy dishwasher safe?
While the ceramic can handle warm water, hand washing is recommended to protect the decorative floral tile print and finish.
Does it come with compostable bags?
No, this product does not include bags, but you can use standard small compostable liners inside to make emptying easier.
Can I store meat scraps in this?
It is not recommended to store meat, dairy, or cooked foods in this caddy, as they attract pests and cause odors much faster than fruit and vegetable scraps.
Is the lid airtight?
The lid is designed for easy access rather than a vacuum seal, so some airflow is expected.
What are the dimensions of the caddy?
The caddy is designed for standard countertops with a compact footprint, specifically for daily scrap collection.
Will the ceramic stain?
Most vegetable scraps will not stain the ceramic, provided you rinse the caddy out regularly after emptying.
Troubleshooting
Visible fruit flies around the caddy
Empty the caddy immediately and wipe the interior with a vinegar solution to remove residual odors or stuck-on debris.
Lingering smells in the kitchen
Increase the frequency of emptying your caddy and ensure it is not kept in direct sunlight, which can accelerate decomposition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: place the caddy on a flat, stable surface within reach of your prep area. Compatibility is universal, as it is a standalone unit requiring no special hardware. To care for your caddy, hand wash it with warm, soapy water to preserve the delicate floral print and ceramic finish. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the glaze over time. Ensure the unit is completely dry before placing it back on your counter to prevent moisture buildup beneath the base.
