If you have a garden, this is a handy thing to have on the counter. I've composted literally decades worth of Mrs. CW's expensive Graffeo coffee after she's turned it into grounds (said as CW sips delicious expresso Mrs. CW has just handed him).

    1. I was going to post that we've been using a big red Folgers container for at least 20 years.

  2. Doesn't stink much until you take off the lid. Mine's been an annoyance as a fruitfly nursery since July though.

  3. Required to compost in commieland now. Trash bill keeps going up and they keep taking less and less. The list of stuff they won't take is longer than the list they will.

    I have one like this. Empty it every other day it’s fine.

  5. The only organic waste I produce (that doesn't go down the toilet) is eggshells. I just crush those and put them in my (half-assed attempt at a) garden.

  7. We bought one of those. After a little while it was nothing but a gnat nursery. We'd clean it out, and the cycle would start again. We tossed it.

  8. Some of them have an activated charcoal filter on the top for the odors (looks like this one might). We still have our and it is handy, if you take it out to add to the compost. But you have to take it out.

  9. We use ours for coffee grounds only. No pests, and when full it goes to the blueberry bushes. They thrive with that around the base.

  10. "Compost Everything: the Good guide to extreme composting" by David the Good. Well worth the money and time to read, if just for the humor.
