Over five thousand years ago, the people of Crete, Santorini, Knossos and many other places in Ancient Greece, worshiped a goddess known to us today as Gaia, goddess of the Earth, who took on many forms throughout history, a history that reachesout through time through Gaiam.

The essential belief of the Earth as being directly connected to the existence of daily life is what kept the followers of Gaia united, and the company Gaiam (from slurring Gaia) holds true to that belief through all of its products and services in the modern age of electron-slinging consumption, by developing tools we need in order to assume our role as stewards of the planet.

If your family is small (two or three), then the regular bucket should be an excellent size for less frequent trips to the compost pile.

For larger families (five or more) then the tall bucket is recommended.

Emptying your Gaiam Compost Bucket once a week is good, but with a filter, every two weeks should be fine if you arent using newspaper, sawdust or some kind of carbon to eliminate the odors of decomposing organic materials.

Remember, some people have tougher noses than others, so respecting everyone with a filter or dry paper materials like sawdust or newspaper is a great way to improve quality of life, but obviously, the filter saves more room for more organic materials and extends the your down time from trips to the compost bin.

Available in the color green only, all Gaiam Compost Buckets come with a disposable filterfor aeration (placed in the lid), each filter lasts for three months, thus a single bucket should not use anymore than four filters a year for greater energy conservation.

Two different sizes are available, 5.5 qt and 9.6 qt. with the regular size measuring 7¾” x 8″ x 7½” and the larger (tall) size measuring 11¼” x 9″ x 9″.

A name that echoes through time the value of education, science, art, recreation and above all our precious environment, for a healthy lifestyle and a more sustainable economy. Compost buckets carry our modern day Atlantean civilization just one step closer to mending its ways and returning to its true purpose, in stewardship of Earth.

Cleanliness and hygiene are part of what marks us as civilization, but some of the more hygienic practices we have inherited from ancient times are not as environmentally friendly as they could be, one of which includes how we take care of our kitchen scraps.

The consumer society that we have all grown up in is only now realizing what actually happens to our trash, and with products the help separate organics from non-organics, like MACP, consumers are beginning to take on a new role, that of stewards of Earth.

MACP keeps kitchen refuse separate from the non-organic trash by offering a first-step link to the compost bin that is both neat and tidy, something that compost pails have never been in the past, always leaving us with a nasty, smelly mess to clean up.

Good airflow is important to keep the slop that always ends up making its way into the bin, dry, thereby reducing mold, rot and those unpleasant odors drastically.

Small and cute, MACP is also sturdy and durable, making good use of recycled plastics for the long haul, taking up very little space on the kitchen counter, yet still able to hold large quantities of banana peals, eggs shells, coffee grounds…etc. with biodegradable plastic bags like those made by Bio-Bag.

MACP has aeration around and under the bag, a collection gutter to catch spillage, grooves at the bottom to maximize ventilation, flush wall-mounting slot, six-year guarantee if used normally, convenient carrying handle and will provide a weight reduction of up to 20% over a five day period while under the kitchen counter.

Max Air Compost Pail (MACP) helps keep kitchen scraps in their place and highly ventilated and was developed to be used along with biodegradable plastic bags, that keep the whole organic part of composting both tidy and environmentally friendly; helping our planet work towards a better tomorrow for the children of our childrens children, starting with you.
