QualiaZero 1 gal Multipurpose Plastic Countertop Kitchen Trash Can

great for trash in small space

So my mother has kept egg shells, coffee grounds, & veggie scraps in a used bread bag, lying in her kitchen sink since I can remember! When I saw this bin I wondered why I hadn't thought of this before. Not only is this vessel attractive, it can hold quite a bit of stuff before heading to the compost pile. An important feature is that the top comes off easily for my elderly mother & yet it also seals in odors from the compost. The outside has a nice, modern stainless steel finish that cleans up nicely & does not show fingerprints. Inside is a durable plastic that does not seem to hold onto odors. This container could be used for so many things, but is the perfect find for a neat, odor-free way to hold food scraps to later be composted. I definitely recommend this item!

I really enjoy my countertop can for scraps. It is a clever way to collect beneficial waste to add to my compost pile. Since I have a hose near my compost pile, it is easy to rinse my can out and add it also to the compost pile. Some days it seems I could use two cans. I find that once a day I make my journey to the compost pile with my kitchen scraps. I did notice some fruit flies so I placed an old jar that I punched holes in the metal top big enough for fruit flies. I put water and vinegar in the jar and it works great at killing the fruit flies. It too goes to the compost pile every few days. No more smelly open scrape dish on the counter. Love my countertop can and ease of use.

This little garbage can is perfect! I can use it in my car or in the kitchen. It has a nice solid base and even a lid and handle for easy transport. I keep it in the car to keep my car clean since it's the perfect size and the lid keeps the trash from spilling everywhere. But I can also use it in the kitchen on the counter when I'm cooking or baking to just throw away things easier when I'm doing a lot of work and I know I have a lot of mess that I don't want to have to keep going back and forth to the big can. It's stainless steel so it's easy clean up. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and family.

For 15 years I have kept a large coffee count on my countertop for the purpose of composting kitchen scraps. I never bothered to think of another option. It smelled bad when opened and was hard to clean because of all the nooks and crannies. This countertop can it's way more attractive than a coffee can and so much easier to clean!

As mentioned by others this has a loose lid but it actually keeps in smells! I'm using for scraps that go to my chickens and wanted something dogs wouldn't be tempted to grab of counter. I dumped part of a pickle in and forgot about it until I went to add more scraps where strong pickles smell came out after I removed lid. My potential counter surfer is a coonhound so smell control is important and so far she doesn't even seem aware of bucket sitting on counter. Handle makes it easy to run out to chickens. Thinking of getting one for parents RV as mom saves scraps when they visit and have space issues also.

It is a clever idea to have a nice looking can for on top of your counter for your food waste. It is smoothly made for easy cleaning with no seams in the can interior. I will be using this for my outdoor kitchen which will be very useful to avoid flies near the food when prepping. However, I think it could have been made better by having an attachable lid and making it with a closing feature. The way it is made now, you actually have to pick up the lid and take it on and off. When your hands are messy from prepping food, you don't want to be handling the can lid. Overall, the can is a good idea and will be used a lot.

I intend to use this as a compost bucket when I peal veggies. I wish the lid snapped in place rather than just sitting on top, but that's a small drawback. It cleans up easily, and I like the fact the handle is quite tall; makes it easy to carry. Overall, I'm pleased with this item.

This can is very handy to use for meal prep. You can put all your scraps in it then go dump it in the trash can when you're done prepping instead of back and forth to the trash. If you're looking for a can that you don't need to dump until it's full, this might not be the one for you, as the lid does not have a seal, nor is it hinged. It just sits on top. I don't know how well it contains odors if left sitting as I have just done a meal prep then dumped it. But it's very nice to have and doesn't take up a lot of room on your counter. It's easy to find a spot for and set aside out of the way when not in use, even in my small kitchen with limited counter space.

The 1 Gallon Multipurpose Countertop Can is what you need for short-term miscellaneous food storage. The stainless steel outside compliments most kitchen decor while it's seamless impervious inside prevents bacteria from building. The unit empties easily and completely by holding the handle while tilting the recessed bottom. The top utilizes a soft seal to keep any content odors from escaping; it can also be used to place sliced items into the unit. The stainless-steel exterior is designed to prevent fingerprint buildup in addition to its aesthetic characteristic. It must be remembered though, that the unit is not designed to provide much of an insulating or cooking function, but mainly a temporary storage function. If you often desire having a place to contain in-process cooking ingredients, give this product a try.
