One big problem with composting organic kitchen waste can be space. A lot of households produce such a large quantity of organic waste such as fruit and vegetable peelings, left over food, tea bags, crusts from bread and other waste. It is amazing how very quickly it can all build up in the kitchen and it is not nice having it hanging around. However, the compost bin might be a long walk away and you do not want to be going down the garden after every meal or it may be filling up very quickly. Sometimes it seems to fill up so fast that you do not seem to have room for anything else in it and then you have to think of a new place to put it.

Using a garbage compactor might be a good solution. Obviously you would only be able to use it for the waste that you intended to compost, but it would make it smaller and easier to handle as well as making it take up less space in the compost bin. Think about how much easier it would make things for you and how, by compacting the waste it might even help it to start rotting more quickly.

If you already have a garbage compactor then why not give it a go and see what you think of it, you may find it has , otherwise consider buying one and see what a difference it can make to the amount of space that you can save.
