I started composting about 2 years ago, after being given a compost bin by daz38 here on JT (Thank you!).
My problem was what to put the food waste in in the kitchen, before I take it out to the compost bin. I wanted a container with a tightclosing lid, but something that was easy to open, and preferably not horrible looking.
I finally found the perfect one, so even though this is shameless promotion for IKEA, I want to share it.

This is just a big 4 litre food container, but ideal for food waste in a small household. It also comes in white, and it is nice enough to always have by the sink. The lid is transparent, so you see when it's time to empty it, and it has a rubber seal, so no smell escapes, and it doesn't attract fruit flies. You can put the lid on and off with one hand, which is great.
