Kitchen Counter Composting

Kitchen composting. I collect a few kitchen scraps in an odor free container right on my counter, then take the whole thing out to my small compost pile behind our garden shed. See herejust how I do it!
Do you have a certain way to recycle kitchen scraps for the garden?
Folgers can,...perfect size and lid, but vintage ice buckets and other
All vegetable kitchen scraps, plus eggshells and coffee grounds can be stored for a few days, odor free with a tight fitting lid.
After a few days, add contents to your compost pile. Lovely, free compost is the reward!

    I have an empty Cascade Complete (the pre measured packets) container on my counter I use. We live where the wildlife (deer, coon, rabbits, etc.) live so they eat what they want out of it. I also recycle EVERYTHING I can and have one very small bag of trash that I put out for my garbage service to pick up.
