Brabantia Sort & Go Food Waste Bin 3L, Small Countertop Kitchen Compost Caddy with Handle & Removable Lid, Easy Clean, Fir Green

Excellent product. I have 3 of these inside a kitchen cupboard, use them for general waste, paper, and glass and plastic recycling. Easy to pick them up and carry out to rubbish bin to empty.

We have had a 6L kitchen food waste caddy in a cupboard near the sink. That meant you either had to take the caddy out to put waste into it or reach into the cupboard lift the lid and hope you don't get too much food in the cupboard. I wanted to find a suitable shelf to go on the back of the cupboard door to put the caddy on but I couldn't see anything ideal so I started to look for a caddy with a mounting bracket. This seemed to fit the bill and wasn't too expensive so I decided to try it.The shape isn't the same as the local authority food caddies being less deep and wider round the perimeter. I have always thought the standard caddy liners weren't deep enough and were too wide so they tended to slip off the caddy, so I tried my existing ones on this and they seem perfect. The lid is on a frame that you can lift off, fit the liner so it just comes over the rim and then put the frame back on to hold the liner in place. You do get 10 purpose-designed liners, but I don't think it will be necessary to get special ones in future.The bracket was fairly easy to fit onto the back of the door using the screws provided. It's supposed to be for wall fitting but I think you would want wall plugs if you were going to do that. It's easy to put the caddy on and off the bracket and the whole thing seems as secure as my fittings ever are. The handle doesn't lock the lid, I'm pleased to say. That would have been awkward and I can see no reason for it on a caddy that is used only indoors.I should say that the instructions do warn against what I have done because of the risk that the weight could distort the door. I think my cupboard doors are quite sturdy so I'm hoping there won't be a problem. The caddy now swings out with the door, the lid stays up when you lift it and it's easy to get food into it, especially with the wider top. I'm happy.

Love this bin! I ordered 2 x the largest size (one for general waste, one for recycling) and it came with complementary bin bags from BarBantia. For the first time ever, the bin bags fit the bin properly! No more messiness when removing the bin bag, no leakage into the bin itself. The lid shuts completely and traps odour in effectively. They fit perfectly behind my kitchen door out of sight. The handles make it easy to carry and the shape of the lids enable stacking which makes it space saving. I thought the bin might be too small for a family of 5 but I find because the bags fit perfectly, the space is maximised and we only need to empty the bin once every 4-5 days.

Short review:If you're looking for a small kitchen bin this is perfect for you.Long review:This bin is great, I was looking for a replacement for an IKEA bin that was poorly designed with too many surfaces on the inside of the lid and an annoying inset ridge that kept gunking up! This bin is great, there are minimal surfaces to clean, no gaps or channels for crumbs and gunk to build up in and the lid seals really well when it's closed (keeping smells contained).The hinge feels really strong and the lid is easily removed or opened. The carry handle is also super useful.Material wise it's also great with a slightly textured finish that doesn't accumulate dirt and wipes clean easily.It's a truly great bin with a 10 year warranty!

I had bought a Joseph Joseph one as hate the council issued ones, however as the food piled up it would get stuck in the lids ventilation/de-odourising/sponge bit. This was a brilliant alternative, very neat looking, easy to wipe clean and doesn’t look as unsightly as the others, still fits the council liners & although it’s regularly cleaned I’ve yet to feel we needed the Joseph Joseph smelling clean addition. I don’t have it on display but it is quite discreet should you want to

This is an excellent little caddy which I am using on a countertop which is far nicer looking than the council issued one which I now use outside instead. I try to avoid using bags/liners and this caddy is really easy to clean and doesn't stain. I haven't used the mounting bracket but it seems quite solid and easy to install. I would have preferred an option to buy this without the bracket I never intended to use however as I now have a redundant piece of plastic. There were other non-mounting ones available of course, but Brabantia offered the best colours and aesthetic for a countertop bin.

Absolutely brilliant,great little food waste bin! Aesthetically it is great, a lovely opaque white colour and just the right size. The clever people also thought to have an extra large rim to hide the unsitely bin liner, so it does not poke through and spoil the elegant appearance. It also delivers brilliantly in an engineering capacity. It’s really easy to open and close the lid, not fiddly at all and no hassle! Removing the bin liner is not difficult either and this is so easy to clean.

Needed a replacement for my brown food caddy that had too many air holes and was creating a stink in the back porch - this little bin is very sturdy and stylish - it has eliminated the smells and could be left at the back door without fear of rodents breaking in. If used as a food waste caddy, it will have condensation due to lack of ventilation, but a quick clean weekly with disinfectant spray is all that is required.
