Sink-Side Food Waste Bin

A small food waste bin that stands at the edge of the sink, with a strainer inside and a spout that drains into the bowl. Scrape plates and peelings into it as you cook; the liquid runs off into the sink and the solids stay in the basket.

Wet food waste is what makes a kitchen bin heavy, smelly and prone to leaking. Draining it at the sink first means a drier bin bag and far fewer trips across the kitchen with a dripping handful of peelings.

Why you'll love it

• Drains as it fills — liquid runs back into the sink.
• Right where you prep — no walking scraps to the bin.
• Lift-out strainer — tip the solids straight into the compost.
• Compact — sits on the sink edge without taking the worktop.

Details

• Material: plastic
• Includes: bin with strainer insert and drain spout
• Ideal for: vegetable peelings, plate scrapings, tea leaves, coffee grounds

Empty it every evening and rinse it under the tap. It is a staging post for scraps, not somewhere to keep them.
