It has surfaced again and this time I have actually gotten this far following up. It is the day after earth day, so through this next weekend people will be turning to me as the compost and water recycling authority. It sure would be nice to have such a product to plug in to the kitchen. I have held on to a sales order/ flyer for this product from a friend since 1996.

However, more recently we have been unable to determine whether the product is still made; I'm hoping Vicky is right that it's returning this year.

It is still in the box and in perfect condition. We are happy to sell if anyone is interested. E-mail us for more information. We have a Kich’n Komposter, that we have never used.

Been looking for them myself. It turns out they had a problem with the first generation and took it off the market to revamp. They think they'll have something back on line by the end of next summer.

The Kich'n Komposter by Carbco Industries 240 Michigan St. Lockport, NY 14094 I read about these years ago and I want one! If you find any, let me know! If I can't find one, I'm thinking about building a valve system attached below the sink disposal unit with one pipe leading out to the sewer as usual, but the other pipe leading outside, through the wall to a self-draining compost bin. I'd just reserve food scraps (like you'd normally do to collect them before carrying them outside,) finish the dishes making sure that all the oil and soap is thoroughly rinsed from the sink, then flip the valve under the sink over to the compost side and begin to feed the vegetable scraps into the disposal unit, effectively washing them down a pipe outside into a compost bin that drains the extra water off, (perhaps collecting it to use for gardening.) Then you'd just have to remember to flip the valve back when you finished. You get the benefits of grinding up the food, plus, your compost stays moist.....in theory.... …for real! What happened?

I read about these years ago and I want one!

If you find any, let me know!

If I can’t find one, I’m thinking about building
a valve system attached below the sink disposal unit
with one pipe leading out to the sewer as usual, but
the other pipe leading outside, through the wall to
a self-draining compost bin. I’d just reserve food
scraps (like you’d normally do to collect them
before carrying them outside,) finish the dishes
making sure that all the oil and soap is thoroughly
rinsed from the sink, then flip the valve under the
sink over to the compost side and begin to feed the
vegetable scraps into the disposal unit, effectively
washing them down a pipe outside into a compost bin
that drains the extra water off, (perhaps collecting
it to use for gardening.) Then you’d just have to
remember to flip the valve back when you finished.

your compost stays moist…..in theory….
