I am presently in the process of changing my mini compost bin in the kitchen too. It has a swing lid and pretty useless when scraping the plates as you need both hands to scrape and then you can't keep the swing lid open so I end up having to remove it and its a bit of a pain and usually end up with some mess on the floor. I was looking at one in Dunnes which is a mini pedal-bin which I think is designed for a bathroom. This is why I'm interested in your suggestion. I'm assuming you'd keep this on top of the kitchen counter when in use then whip it out of sight? It still needs two-handed plate-scraping and removal of lid though. Thanks for the idea, I will need to check out Ikea and have a little think about that.
