7. Temporary compost container
Still making excuses for not composting yet? Don’t blame the bad smell and lack of motivation to take out scraps every day. The solution is in your morning cup of joe.
We all know that coffee grounds are a welcome addition to the compost pile, but what about the empty coffee containers as a composting aid? Because most come with a snug-fitting plastic lid, these coffee containers are the perfect solution to temporarily storing your compost materials underneath the sink while reducing the smell.
