Full details
The Purely Home Highland Cow & Calf Compost Caddy is designed for eco-conscious homeowners who want to manage kitchen food waste without compromising on kitchen aesthetics. It offers a stylish, compact solution for collecting scraps while controlling odors through integrated ventilation and carbon filtration, though its 2L capacity means it requires more frequent emptying compared to larger countertop bins.

FAQs
Does the caddy come with carbon filters?
The unit includes a carbon filter holder; please check your packaging for the initial filter included with the product.
Can I put the caddy in the dishwasher?
No, the enamel exterior and bamboo lid are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with a damp cloth only.
What size bags should I use?
The caddy is designed to be compatible with 5-litre compostable food waste bags.
How often should I empty the caddy?
With a 2L capacity, it is recommended to empty it every 1-2 days to maintain hygiene and prevent excess moisture.
Is the lid airtight?
The lid is designed for ventilation to allow the compost to breathe, which helps reduce the breakdown process, so it is not intended to be airtight.
Troubleshooting
Persistent odors from the caddy
Check if the carbon filter is saturated and needs replacing, and ensure the inner bucket is cleaned regularly.
Bamboo lid feels stuck or tight
Ensure no food debris is trapped on the rim of the inner bucket or the gasket area of the lid.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Aesthetic design enhances kitchen decor
- Removable inner bucket makes cleaning easy
- Integrated ventilation helps manage odors
- Compact footprint saves valuable counter space
Cons
- Small 2L capacity requires frequent emptying
- Carbon filters require periodic replacement
- Not dishwasher safe due to enamel and wood materials
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To begin, place the carbon filter into the designated holder beneath the lid. Insert the plastic inner bucket into the enamel base, ensuring the rim of your compostable bag is tucked neatly between the inner bucket and the outer shell.
Compatibility: This unit is specifically designed for use with standard 5-litre compostable food waste bags, which fit the inner bucket dimensions perfectly.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the plastic inner bucket with warm, soapy water after every emptying to prevent bacterial growth.
- Wipe the exterior enamel with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid soaking the bamboo lid in water, as this can cause warping; simply wipe it down and ensure it is fully dry before placing it back on the unit.
