The Max Air kitchen scrap collection buckets make great companions with our outdoor composters. Collect your kitchen scraps in this bucket lined with our BioBag 3 gallon bags, then drop the bag into your compost bin; in several days the bag will have biodegraded away, leaving the scraps to mix with the compost.

The Max Air buckets are ventilated on all sides, including the top and bottom, which helps to keep the bucket fresh and prevent odors. This is contrary to solid plastic or ceramic pails, where kitchen food waste can build up bacterial odor quickly. The reason is food waste creates heat and moisture that can not escape when placed in these closed containers. Many modern collection pails contain charcoal filters or other devices to help mask the odor, but do little to slow the "rotting process".

The Max Air buckets are attractive for countertop placement and are also hinged if you wish to hang the bucket inside the door of your kitchen sink.

Our 3 Gallon Compost/Waste Bags fit perfectly in this bin. Just drop the bag into your compost bin when it is full and in several days the bag will be gone. BioBags breathe naturally, allowing heat and moisture to escape or evaporate, which allows food waste to dry and reduces the rate of bacterial build-up that causes odor.
