Addis 518384 Eco 100% Plastic Everyday Kitchen Food Waste Compost Caddy Bin, 4.5 Litre, Recycled Light Grey

I recently purchased the Addis 518252 Everyday Kitchen Food Waste Compost Caddy Bin in white, and I couldn’t be happier with this product. If you're looking for an efficient, compact, and aesthetically pleasing way to collect food scraps for composting, this bin is a great choice. Here’s a detailed breakdown of why I’m so impressed:Compact Yet Spacious: At 4.5 liters, this compost caddy bin strikes the perfect balance between being compact enough for easy storage and large enough to hold a decent amount of food waste. It fits neatly on my kitchen countertop without taking up too much space, which is ideal for smaller kitchens. The size also makes it convenient to store under the sink or in a cabinet when not in use. Despite its small footprint, it holds enough waste to last a couple of days before needing to empty it, which is perfect for my needs.User-Friendly and Durable Design: The bin’s design is simple but effective. It features a sturdy handle that makes it easy to carry, even when full, and the lid closes securely, helping to contain odors and prevent pests. The lid is also designed with a flip-top opening, allowing you to toss in food scraps with ease, even when your hands are full. This feature is incredibly practical when you’re busy preparing meals. Additionally, the white color gives it a clean, minimalist look that fits seamlessly with most kitchen decors.Easy to Clean and Maintain: Cleaning this compost bin is a breeze. The smooth plastic surface doesn’t retain stains or odors, and it’s easy to wipe down after emptying it. The 4.5L size ensures that it doesn’t get too messy between cleanings, and the lid keeps any potential smells at bay. It’s also worth noting that the material feels sturdy and built to last, which is important for a product that gets frequent use.Final Thoughts: Overall, the Addis 518252 Everyday Kitchen Food Waste Compost Caddy Bin has made my composting routine much easier and more efficient. It’s a practical, well-designed, and easy-to-maintain product that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a simple yet effective way to manage food waste in the kitchen. Whether you’re new to composting or just looking for a more convenient option, this bin ticks all the boxes.

Nice colour and perfect size for sitting on worktop. Also stop flies which is why I ordered it.

Good for intended use as food waste caddy. Lid doesn't click closed, therefore not perfect. It does rest securely on top of container, though, so is useable. Would buy again, even with this little niggle. Small enough so waste bags don't disintegrate before it is emptied. As a single person I don't have much food waste, but it can be nasty if left too long, causing bags to leak. The container is easy to wash and dry. It also looks smart.

Compact, well made, nice colour

Although these are sold as kitchen food waste caddies, they really have a multitude of uses. I ordered mine to hold used coffee grounds, which I collect from a local cafe. The owner kindly fills two of these throughout the week and every Saturday I collect them and pass over two clean empty caddies. I don’t bother using lining bags because the coffee grounds are tipped straight out into the composting bin on my allotment plot.This caddy is sturdy and features a close-fitting lid which reassuringly ‘clicks’ into place when you lower it. I do like that the design allows me to carry two caddies in one hand (see photo). I also like the fact that the inner surfaces are ‘rounded’ so it’s easy to empty the contents and it’s easy to keep clean. By the way, these can be stacked, though I would suggest not going above 2-3 high.Overall, I think these represent excellent value - I even got an extra 5% discount for purchasing four! If you’re seeking a reasonably priced, practical caddy, then look no further because I have no hesitation in recommending this one from Addis. I particularly enjoy sharing my positive experiences when it comes to purchasing products, so I hope this review has been of help.

It is a 4.5 LitreIt's a lot smaller than the council issue caddy however this will sit on a window sill or fit in smaller spaces .As far as a caddy goes it looks okay and it comes in some nice coloursThe lit is not a clip fit but it fits okay.I have bought 3 as I am using one as I plan to use most of them for storage of items in the bathroom and kitchenas well as one as a caddy

Perfect for their intended use, and great value for money. I also love the colour. They hold a few days worth of food, but I empty them regularly, and we're a small family, so they meet our needs perfectly. No complaints here! Do recommend!

I use for washing tablets - still keep out of the reach if children as it's not a secure catch.Looks nice in utility roomPerfect compact size.Nice neutral colour.Good price.Not air tight!
