Light: When cannabis is exposed to light, it breaks down faster. Avoid this degradation by keeping your product in a dark place like cupboards or drawers. Some containers have built-in UV protection. Jeff Finnerty, VP and Head of Marketing at cannabis operator AYR Wellness comments, “When it comes to storing cannabis, light penetration is everything. Too much light will degrade the cannabinoid and terpene properties of the flower, so it’s recommended to keep the flower in a dark, air-tight jar.”

As if that is not enough, it won’t damage your wall or kitchen counter since the lid does not open as forcefully compared to most pedal kitchen bins. Worms are a beneficial way to compost at home in that they do the work of breaking down food scraps instead of the microorganisms that do it in a traditional outdoor composting scenario. One advantage of using worms is that it’s a one-step process: You throw scraps in with the worms and they do the rest. Dimension-wise, this case is 8.5-inches wide, 6-inches tall, and 4-inches in depth. But, this smell-proof case makes sure you can keep all your stash, personal items, accessories, and some extra carry-on at one place.Dog food containers don’t need to be airtight, but the food lasts longer and stays fresher, and pests—like ants, bugs, and rodents—can’t get to it if it is. As soon as dog food is exposed to air, humidity, and higher temperatures, it starts to break down and lose its freshness. While your dog may still be OK with eating it, it’s akin to you eating food that’s gone stale. At nearly 20 pounds and 16 inches wide, it’s a bit large if counter space is an issue in your kitchen. Still, it has a sleek and modern design and can live on your countertop if you have the space. As far as the durability is concerned, the jars are using Aircraft Grade Aluminum, which is sturdy enough to handle quite some drops. The Aluminium casing also provides complete herbal protection and is waterproof. Do you like all home appliances to be smart enough to work with sensors?

It’s the reason why jars and vacuum-sealed bags are a top choice; they keep oxygen out, which keeps buds as fresh as possible. That’s also why the size of your storage matters. Khalid Al-Naser, Head of Product at premium cannabis extract brand Raw Garden, says, “One of the most common mistakes people make when storing weed is leaving too much headspace in the jar. You want there to be very little space between the lid and the product to store it properly.”

A food recycler is another option if you’re looking for a countertop composter. Using heat and a grinder, this machine electrically processes waste into a reduced mixture that can be added to a worm bin or outdoor composter. It’s particularly useful for food scraps that are slow to decompose in traditional worm bins or compost piles or items that are prone to odors or attracting pests, like meat and dairy products. You won’t have to touch this kitchen in between your cooking sessions, thanks to its sturdily built manual foot lever. The exterior is resistant to rust, so the bin won’t lose its gleaming appearance provided that you take good care of it. If you are looking for a smart and fashionable garbage bin to match your contemporary kitchen and complement the décor, this iTouchless SoftStep is the right choice.

These are trash cans designed to contain baby diapers and they do incorporate some odor control features. However, they are also designed for soiled diapers. These tend to be quite heavy, and the soil is somewhat contained within the enclosed diaper. Lighter cat litter will not open spring-loaded trap doors and you will usually need much better odor control to manage the smell. Diaper pails are also quite large because they will hold several diapers a day, compared to one or two scoops of cat litter. To make it even more convenient, the lid will close automatically after a few seconds. This method of waste disposal is not only hygienic but also practical since it is improper to touch a rubbish bin while prepping food. The dimensions of each jar are 3-inches tall and 1 1/8 in diameter. The maximum capacity of each pot is approximately six tablespoons of spices of herbs.

There are several factors that you should take into account when buying a kitchen bin. Moreover, rubbish bins come in different sizes and also have varying functionalities. When buying a waste bin, ensure that you go for a unit that can neatly fit inside your kitchen.The trash can needs to be strong enough to prevent your dog from breaking into it – especially if you have a larger pooch. Many dogs have strong jaws and digging claws. Couple this with a determination to break into your trash and you need to ensure that the can is up to the challenge. As well as looking at the main material of the can, you also need to look at the materials of the hinges and lid. Stainless steel is a popular choice as it fits in with many kitchen decors, and it is also strong and stable enough to withstand the attentions of an overeager pet.
