My Favorite Freebie Container

My favorite freebie compost container is a plastic bucket that originally held cat litter. Admittedly, it’s not very pretty, but it holds lots of kitchen scraps, has an airtight lid, a handle for carrying out to my compost bin, and fits nicely under my sink. My husband wrapped it in white contact paper and wrote little signs on each side which read “COMPOST: DO NOT PUT IN EAR!”
