Household Food Waste Facts

Kitchen waste accounts for 11.2% of municipal solid waste, according to  the United States Environmental Protection Agency's estimates.

Each year a typical household throws away an estimated 474 pounds of food waste. That's about 40 lbs a month, or 1.3 lbs a day!

Food scraps generated by all households in the United States could be piled on a football field more than five miles high (that's 26,400 feet)!


Okay, okay, you get the point! What you need to haul your compostable food waste out of your house is, that's right, a KITCHEN COMPOST PAIL!

Especially one that is durable, has a secure lid, keeps odors to a minimum, and holds perhaps a few days food scraps so that you don't wear a path to the bin.

At Cortesia Sanctuary, being without our Kitchen Compost Pail would feel kind of unnatural. So, we've made a special deal with the maker of this pail, Norseman Plastics, so that we can get one to you at a fair price.

Made by Norseman Plastics, the creator of the Earthmachine composter. We think this is the most durable kitchen pail of its kind.

It sure beats a yogurt container or even the fruit storage bin in your refrigerator. Trust us.
