About this item
- COMPOSTING MADE SIMPLER: Our compost caddy conveniently docks on the side of simplehuman trash cans encouraging you to separate organics from trash, making waste management even more efficient.
- NOT MAGIC, MAGNETIC: Magnetic docking system not only secures the caddy firmly in place, it also holds the lid open for convenient scraping and peeling.
- FOOD-PREP FRIENDLY: Compost caddy easily detaches from its magnetic dock for use at the kitchen counter during food prep and clean up.
- KEEPS ODORS IN, PESTS OUT: Soft-seal lid allows organics to breathe, keeping odors like banana peels under control and pests like fruit flies away.
- SIMPLE TO EMPTY, EASY TO CLEAN: Detachable lid and a smooth inner bucket are designed for efficient removal, dumping, and rinsing.
- CLEANER STAINLESS STEEL: Our invisible silver-ion coating resists fingerprints and the spread of germs without dulling the natural sheen and luster of the steel.
- MADE FOR EARTH: Our code Z compostable custom fit liners fit our compost caddy perfectly with no ugly overhang, and are certified compostable so you can throw them out and they will decompose completely.

Product description
Feed your garden and store compost scraps easily and efficiently with our odor-minimizing stainless steel compost caddy. It attaches to a magnetic dock that hangs at the side of your rectangular or slim liner rim trash can, or you can detach it for use on your kitchen counter. The soft-seal lid allows food scraps to breathe, keeping odor under control and pests away. The plastic inner bucket is removable so it's easy to dump out scraps or clean. The caddy's stainless steel surface is protected by an invisible fingerprint-proof coating that is also infused with Agion?, an EPA-registered antimicrobial that inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold, and mildew. A 30-pack of Code Z custom fit compostable liners is included the liners fit the caddy perfectly and can be thrown out along with your food scraps since they decompose fully.

Perfect compost bin

- Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2025Verified PurchaseIm a super fan of pretty much everything Simplehuman does, and this compost container is no exception. Its efficient, its sleek, and it looks great on my counter. Perhaps most importantly, its got a deceptively large capacity, but doesnt take up a huge amount of space. The only thing Id note is to *not* buy/use the Simplehuman compost bags; theyre incredibly flimsy and rip apart way too easily, and they dont tie well either. Its an odd critique for Simplehuman because their garbage bags are SO strong and convenient, but its a small quibble. The bin itself still gets five stars, just use it with any other compost bag of your choice. :)
- Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2025Verified PurchaseCompact and extremely aesthetic counter top compost bin.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2025Verified PurchaseEmptying it 2X more than the traditional 8L container for our compost (not a big deal). I prefer having it attached to garbage can & in same proximity as garbage and recycling. It's easy to take apart and install when switching compost bag. A note on the Code Z custom fit compost bags that came with it. They're terrible and rip easily, so look for other 5L bags online that hold up better (Kokoslo)
- Reviewed in Canada on January 23, 2025Verified PurchaseGreat look, can leave it on the counter and not be offensive looking
- Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2024Verified PurchaseIt looks good on the counter, is easy to clean and use.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 11, 2024Verified PurchaseIt looks much nicer than the Toronto compost bin the city hands out for free. Also, its smaller and fits great on my counter. Good for two days of organic waste including discarded coffee machine filters in a two-person household.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2024Verified PurchaseI love this product it is functional and looks great I bought this with the Simple Human Garbage Recycling system 58L I love the whole set
- Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2024Verified PurchaseLid says on, easy to use. Could be a little bit wider.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal tama?o
Verified PurchaseComplementa muy bien con otros productos de la marca Simplehuman pues viene con un adaptador para colgarlo a un costado de otros botes de basura grandes/dobles de la marca.
Tiene precio un poco elevado para un bote de basura pero lo compensan su gran calidad y dise?o.
Por lo que hace a la durabilidad, los productos de esta marca son muy resistentes y se mantienen funcionales por ms de 10 a?os, con un cuidado o mantenimiento mnimo-nulo.
Lo mejor es que tiene un tama?o ideal para una o dos personas (4L), as ya slo tienes que cambiar la bolsa 1 vez a la semana.
Usa bolsas compostables Cdigo Z de Simplehuman (viene 30 bolsas de regalo) pero puedes utilizar de marca genrica de 45x45cm y le quedan bastante bien.
