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.

Needed a smaller ‘bin’ for kitchen waste as we have very little. I bought one to use as a bin and a second for compost (as I was always piling peelings etc in random containers). They fit nicely next to each other on my kitchen worktop and look quite pleasant. Pleased with both, especially as the range of colours meant I could get 2 different ones that both matched my decor. They are quite robust plastic, but not too brittle, so hopefully will last a while. Having read reviews about the lids not shutting, I took the chance, but both of mine (red and green) shut properly. Bought some generic compost caddy bags in the supermarket and they fit fine. Happy with them for the price.

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.

Good product. Nice size. Easy to clean. Robust

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.

Very handy small kitchen top waste fod bin - good colour which fits in with anything, not expensive.

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

We bought this as it supposedly locks and we have an overly zealous cat when chicken bones go in the food waste. Suffice to say it’s not Oscar proof. As general food caddy it’s fine, just not robust enough for our needs 🐈‍⬛
