With innovative design and technology, we enable delightful simplicity. Our compost caddy conveniently docks on the side of simplehuman bins encouraging you to separate organic rubbish, making waste management even more efficient. Compost caddy easily detaches from its magnetic dock for use at the kitchen counter during food prep and clean up. Magnetic docking system not only secures the caddy firmly in place, it also holds the lid open for convenient scraping and peeling. Docking system compatible with the following bins:- Custom Fit Liners Our code Z custom fit liners fit our compost caddy perfectly with no ugly overhang. You can throw them out and they will decompose completely. Clean and Shiny Our invisible silver-ion coating resists fingerprints and the spread of germs without dulling the natural sheen and lustre of the steel. Keeps Odours In, Pests Out Soft-seal lid allows organics to breathe, keeping odours like banana peels under control and pests like fruit flies away. A Simple Promise We use the best materials and solid engineering so our products will last in tough environments — like your home — for years. Specifications Review: The perfect companion to the matching bin - We bought this alongside the matching 58L Simplehuman recycling bin, and together they make an excellent waste disposal system. The caddy spends most of its time attached to the bin, gets moved over to the food preparation area while cooking, then gets emptied into the main food waste compartment every couple of days. The removable inner bucket makes it easy to clean, the lid does a good job of keeping smells in, and it's solid enough that it doesn't feel like another bit of flimsy kitchen plastic. It's undeniably expensive for a compost caddy, but the build quality is excellent and it matches the larger bin perfectly. Sometimes it's nice when everyday objects are simply well designed. Recommended, particularly if you're already buying the matching bin. Review: Great design. Expensive but worth it. - This was to replace our previous one that my son broke. Although the lid hinge is flimsy, I'm not going to blame SimpleHuman because he should have taken the top off before taking it out to the compost, and should have been looking where he was going when he tripped over. What I like about this is that it is fairly unobtrusive on the windowsill behind the sink. I would have preferred the white one like last time (to be even less obtrusive) but this was almost 50% off and it's a very expensive but of kit. The shape is great because it holds a lot without taking up much space, unlike the bucket shaped ones. It's also so easy to flick open, and you don't have to remove the lid and put it somewhere just to use. Important when we only have 2 hands. Being flat edged, it is also much more convenient for putting under the edge of a counter to sweep peelings in. Not so easy with a round one. Expensive but worth it. ## Features - composting made simpler: Our compost caddy conveniently docks on the side of simplehuman liner rim bins encouraging you to separate organic matter from general waste, making waste management even more efficient. - not magic, magnetic: Magnetic docking system not only secures the caddy firmly in place, it also holds the lid open for convenient scraping and peeling. - keeps odours in, pests out: Soft-seal lid allows organics to breathe, keeping odours like banana peel under control and pests like fruit flies away. - simple to empty, easy to clean: Detachable lid and a smooth inner bucket are designed for efficient removal, dumping, and rinsing. - code Z custom fit compostable liners: Fit the compost caddy perfectly and make it easy to remove food scraps neatly and cleanly, fully decomposing with the rest of your compost. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08S2P53GD | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,385 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 15 in Indoor Compost Bins | | Brand | simplehuman | | Capacity | 4 litres | | Colour | Brushed Stainless Steel | | Country Of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,019 Reviews | | Finish Type | Brushed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00838810024295 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 24.5L x 12W x 22H centimetres | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | simplehuman compost caddy | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | simplehuman | | Material | Heavy Duty | | Material Type | Heavy Duty | | Opening Count | 1 | | Opening Mechanism | Manual-Lift | | Opening mechanism | Manual-Lift | | Recommended Uses For Product | Daily composting routine from cooking and meal prep, Eco-conscious households reducing landfill waste, Food prep on the counter — chop, core, and scrape into one bin, Households with municipal compost programs or backyard compost bins, Owners of simplehuman rectangular or slim liner rim trash cans | | Recommended uses for product | Daily composting routine from cooking and meal prep, Eco-conscious households reducing landfill waste, Food prep on the counter — chop, core, and scrape into one bin, Households with municipal compost programs or backyard compost bins, Owners of simplehuman rectangular or slim liner rim trash cans Recommended uses for product Daily composting routine from cooking and meal prep, Eco-conscious households reducing landfill waste, Food prep on the counter — chop, core, and scrape into one bin, Households with municipal compost programs or backyard compost bins, Owners of simplehuman rectangular or slim liner rim trash cans See more | | Room Type | Kitchen | | Special Features | Heavy Duty | | UPC | 838810024295 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** simplehuman - **Capacity:** 4 litres - **Colour:** Brushed Stainless Steel - **Finish type:** Brushed - **Material:** Heavy Duty - **Opening mechanism:** Manual-Lift - **Recommended uses for product:** Composting - **Room type:** Kitchen - **Shape:** Rectangular - **Special feature:** Heavy Duty ## Images ![CW1645 4L Compost Caddy, Indoor Kitchen Countertop Bin for Food Waste, Removable Inner Bucket, Soft-Seal Lid, Fingerprint-Proof Coating, Brushed Stainless Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zokK5+caL.jpg) ![CW1645 4L Compost Caddy, Indoor Kitchen Countertop Bin for Food Waste, Removable Inner Bucket, Soft-Seal Lid, Fingerprint-Proof Coating, Brushed Stainless Steel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51y9NGsaf6L.jpg) ![CW1645 4L Compost Caddy, Indoor Kitchen Countertop Bin for Food Waste, Removable Inner Bucket, Soft-Seal Lid, Fingerprint-Proof Coating, Brushed Stainless Steel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Zz3NLRbzL.jpg) ![CW1645 4L Compost Caddy, Indoor Kitchen Countertop Bin for Food Waste, Removable Inner Bucket, Soft-Seal Lid, Fingerprint-Proof Coating, Brushed Stainless Steel - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AsbeJp-GL.jpg) ![CW1645 4L Compost Caddy, Indoor Kitchen Countertop Bin for Food Waste, Removable Inner Bucket, Soft-Seal Lid, Fingerprint-Proof Coating, Brushed Stainless Steel - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kDPqnJrIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have a sensor for opening?** A: No, it does not. **Q: Is this fingerprint proof?** A: They will wipe off but do show but don't suffer like my Delorion does ! The lid touch area is not SS so no problem there **Q: Can this food bin be washed in the dishwasher?** A: As you know there is an inner plastic liner. I would think it’s ok but we wash these parts separately as they don’t get too dirty if you use compostable disposable paper bags ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect companion to the matching bin *by D***E on 27 June 2026* We bought this alongside the matching 58L Simplehuman recycling bin, and together they make an excellent waste disposal system.
