If you’ve ever wanted to compost but worried about the smell, the space, or the hassle — you’re not alone. Most people love the idea of composting but struggle to make it work in a busy kitchen. The good news? Composting can actually be easy, odor-free, and mess-free if you start with the right setup.
Why traditional compost bins don’t work for everyone
Countertop compost bins can fill up fast, take up counter space and create odors if not emptied frequently. That’s where an in-can divider, like the Eco-Sorter, changes the game. It fits right inside your existing kitchen trash can, letting you collect food scraps and trash separately — all in one place.
Composting made simple
-
Line one side of your Eco-Sorter with a compostable bag for food scraps.
-
Keep your usual trash on the other side.
-
When the compost bag fills, tie it off and add it to your curbside organics bin or local drop-off.
That’s it — no countertop clutter, no smell, and no new routine to learn.
Why it matters
Food waste makes up over 20% of what ends up in landfills. Composting those scraps instead keeps methane-producing material out of landfills and turns it into nutrient-rich soil. It’s one of the simplest ways to reduce your household’s carbon footprint.
So this week, give composting another try — this time, the easy way.
