what kind of scrap bucket do you have?

We use a plastic coffee can. We keep it open and my son dumps it in the outdoor compost bin daily. I haven't noticed a smell but I don't stick my head in it and breathe deeply either.

Me, too. My Folger's coffee cannister just sits on the counter next to the sink and gets dumped and rinsed out daily. Occasionally it gets washed and/or recycled. During harvest time, I'll have two coffee cans there, and they get dumped more often.

I have a cottage cheese container to hold egg shells sitting next to it. Shells dry and get fed back to chickens. Okay, I have a couple of those. One is always 'drying' on a rack in the laundry room.

Ok, I go to yard sales in the summer. Any time I find an old cheap tupperware "flour or sugar canistars" I pick it up. (I only use one at a time, but I keep a couple of spare ones in the basement when they wear out.) It works well for us and it gets stored under my kitchen sink. I haven't had a problem with smell at all. I do rinse it after I dump it and wash it occasionally in the dishwasher. I also have a large yoghurt container for chicken eggs until I can bake them on the weekend. I also have a stainless bowl (from yard sales)that I use to put food scraps that don't go in the compost that I use to feed the chickens daily.
