Storing your compost collection bin is a critical decision for the effectiveness of your composting system. If you keep it out of the way and make collecting scraps too difficult for you and your family, scrap collection may not become a habit. If you put a stinky container in your kitchen that you don't like the look of, it might not survive long since you'll get tired of seeing and smelling it. The size of your bin and kitchen play a factor as well, since some larger bins, such as worm composting solutions, may be too large to store on a countertop. Similarly, even if the bin is compact, smaller kitchens may not wish to save the room. If you want to keep your bin concealed yet accessible, placing it beneath the sink is a good option for those that are tiny enough to fit. You can also use a pantry or closet if it is close enough to the kitchen that going to it with your scraps does not need a special trip. Try placing one of the appealing solutions we mentioned above on your countertop. Scraps will be more likely to be used here because they will have a shorter distance to travel. When shopping for countertop bins, look for one that offers odor control.
