A keeper that earns its place on your counter
Hortulus makes food scrap collection feel like a natural part of your kitchen rhythm. This countertop keeper is built from food-safe stainless steel, so it resists stains and holds up to daily use. The lid fits snugly and the charcoal filter helps keep things neutral between empties. It is small enough to sit beside the sink, yet big enough to hold a day or two of peels, cores and coffee grounds. Empty it into your compost bin or council food waste caddy, give it a quick rinse, and it is ready for the next round. No liners needed, no plastic bags, just a simple, durable tool that makes less waste feel easy.
- ✓ BPA-free
- ✓ Food-safe stainless steel
- ✓ No plastic liners needed
The difference is in the details
Why cheap compost keepers let you down
Thin plastic bins crack, stain and let smells escape. They often need liners, which adds cost and waste.
A keeper built for daily use
Hortulus uses food-grade stainless steel and a charcoal filter, so it stays clean and neutral without liners.
Common questions, answered
How often should I empty the keeper? +
Most people empty it every two to three days, depending on how much you cook. The charcoal filter helps keep smells down between empties.
Can I put the keeper in the dishwasher? +
The steel body is dishwasher safe, but the lid and filter are best washed by hand. Rinse the filter and let it dry completely.
How long does a charcoal filter last? +
With regular use, a filter stays effective for about two months. You can order replacements separately.
Does it need compostable liners? +
No, it is designed to be used without liners. Just empty and rinse.
