I think I'll stick with my ice cream buckets, though. I did at one time buy an antique enamel pot that would probably work even better than the buckets. Wow. That is sweet.

But ummm, I think you might have missed the bit where I mentioned my path between the house and the compost bins (plural)? I may not be much of a Susie Homemaker, but believe me, I <em>don't</em> have a bunch of food decomposing under the sink! It goes out every day, of course. My point here wasn't about the style of composter unit that is the ultimate destination, but the container to collect the scraps in the kitchen, and carry them out. Plastic tubs will absorb odours -- stainless steel does not. And I also liked the way that this container is integrated into the kitchen counter -- easy clean up after peeling those carrots. Whether one uses a containment type of compost bin or a tumbler style -- a person still needs to collect the kitchen scraps in something! Right?

I don't like decomposing food under my kitchen sink. In the winter I just put all of my scraps in my Urban Compost Tumbler, and then thaw it out in the spring.
