Benchtop compost bins are super easy to use! Simply add all your food scraps to the bin, close the lid tightly, and empty it every 2 days to a week (depending on the amount of kitchen scraps your family produces). I use mine for chicken scraps. Throughout the day, we fill it up with scraps, then we feed it to the chickens in the afternoon. Choose a compost bin with a charcoal filter and a tight-fitting lid!
