Q: Why isn't there a lid – does this mean my freezer will smell?
A: No, the compost freezes quickly and therefore has no time to decompose or produce an odor. Therefore, there is no need for lid – it would only get in the way.

Q: What is the advantage of the Bin over an recycled plastic container?
A: Plastic containers need to be left to thaw in order to be emptied easily. The Bin doesn't require any planning, you simply flex the bottom and all of the scraps pop out fast and easy. The purpose of the Bin is to make the process as easy and to require no waiting. We want composting to be as easy as possible.

Q: Do I have to wash my bin every time I use it?
A: No. When you empty your Bin, there will be no residue left behind. A quick rinse, wash, or wipe will do the job.

Q: Do I have to dry my bin off before putting it back in the freezer?
A: No. Silicone naturally repels water, so any bits of water left on the Bin will disappear quickly in the freezer.

A: About 3.5 liters or 1 gallon.

Q: Will the Bin be cold to touch when I take it out of the freezer?
