This is essential for all who compost their kitchen waste. Sturdy, yet lightweight Jumbo Kitchen Compost Caddy is made of recycled plastic. Has a tight-fitting lid with a charcoal filter (which lasts up to 4 months) to neutralize odours. Generous 8-gallon capacity will save trips to the composter, and only add waste to the composter when the caddy is full. Composting is great for the garden and the environment! Compost improves soil, adds nutrients for plants, helps soil retain water, and reduces the need for expensive fertilizers.
