Epica Stainless-Steel Kitchen Compost Bin — 1.3 Gallon Grey, Airtight with Charcoal Filter

Epica's 1.3-gallon countertop compost bin is a compact, stainless-steel kitchen container with an airtight lid and replaceable activated-charcoal filter to keep food scraps contained and low-odor.

Made for everyday household use, this grey Epica compost bucket is sized to sit unobtrusively on a countertop while holding multiple days of fruit and vegetable scraps. Recognized by publications such as Bon Appétit and Forbes, it balances a durable stainless-steel build with simple maintenance: hand wash the one-piece shell, rinse and air-dry filters to prolong life, and empty weekly for best performance.

How much waste does this compost bin hold?

The bin holds about 1.3 gallons (compact but practical for daily food prep) and measures approximately 7.16 inches in diameter by 11 inches tall. Its size is intended for small households or individuals who want an on-counter solution for short-term scrap storage before transferring to an outdoor compost pile or municipal collection.

• Capacity: 1.3 gallons—fits several days of kitchen scraps for 1–2 people
• Dimensions: 7.16" diameter × 11" height for easy countertop placement
• Compact footprint that won’t crowd prep areas

Will it keep my kitchen smelling fresh?

Yes—Epica designed this model with an airtight lid and a replaceable activated-charcoal filter to reduce odors. The charcoal filter traps and neutralizes smells, and the sealed lid limits air exchange so the bin stays discreet on the counter.

• Included activated-charcoal filter for odor control
• Airtight lid reduces air flow and scent escape
• Filters typically last 3–6 months with normal use

How do you clean and maintain the indoor compost bucket?

The bin’s one-piece molded stainless-steel construction resists rust and is easy to hand wash with warm water. For longevity, rinse filters gently and let them air-dry; avoid saturating the charcoal filter. Replace the filter when it loses effectiveness.

• Hand wash the stainless-steel shell—no scrubbing required
• Rinse filters gently and air-dry to extend life
• Replace filters every 3–6 months depending on use

Is this compost bin built to last on a busy kitchen counter?

Constructed from premium stainless steel and featuring a leak-resistant design, the Epica countertop compost pail is made for long-term daily use. Its durable finish resists scratches and corrosion, while the compact build keeps it both practical and stylish in modern kitchens.

• Stainless-steel body resists rust and surface wear
• Leak-resistant one-piece design simplifies cleaning

Who is this for: This Epica countertop compost bin suits singles, couples, and small households who want a tidy, odor-reduced place to collect food scraps between compost pickups or outdoor composting.
