I’ve been using the Clear Drop Organics collector for about a month and a half now, and honestly, I’m really impressed. I used to have a big issue with food scraps, especially during the summer. The smell was terrible, and it always attracted gnats and flies. I had to take the trash out every single day just to keep it under control.Since getting this device, that problem is mostly gone. I can now store food waste for 5–7 days without any bad smells, thanks to the carbon filter inside. It really works! Also, I love the sliding lid. It opens without needing to touch anything, so it’s super convenient when your hands are messy from cooking. Another thing I noticed is that the food waste gets a lot drier while sitting in the bin. It’s not totally dry, but definitely not soggy like it used to be. And best of all—no more bugs! Seriously, that alone makes it worth it for me. This has been a great solution to a really annoying problem."

“Most food recyclers are not real composters”, New York Times
Most countertop food recyclers don’t produce finished compost. They create ground or dehydrated food scraps that still require traditional composting.*
Many function mainly as grinders or dehydrators — reducing odor or volume, not creating nutrient-rich compost.
Clear Drop’s Organics Collector (OC) treats organics using air ventilation, ozone, and carbon filtration, without energy-intensive grinding or heating. It reduces moisture by 30–40% daily, preserving organic matter for professional composting.
Focused on real impact
The OC is not a composting machine — it’s a waste-preparation solution that keeps food scraps dry, odor-free, and easy to transport to composting facilities.
It eliminates common composting issues: odors, insects, leaks, and mess.
Designed for real sustainability
Real composting requires time, microbes, airflow, and moisture — conditions countertop recyclers can’t replicate.
Clear Drop keeps organics out of landfills and ensures they reach proper composting streams, where real environmental impact happens.

Compost lifecycle with OC
OC focuses on what actually works:
Keeping organic waste dry, and odor-free and making it easy to prepare them for composting
Frequently Asked Questions
Even if you already compost outdoors, the Clear Drop® Organics Collector (OC) makes the indoor part of the process dramatically easier.
Everything that is organic and fits through the receptacle can be stored in the OC. The unit is designed to fully integrate with outdoor compost systems, municipal organics carts, or larger-scale composting solutions.
The key benefit?
Mess-free, odor-controlled indoor food waste collection for up to one week — without daily trips outside.
For apartment living, high-rise buildings, and homes participating in mandatory organic waste separation programs (like New York City), the OC acts as a clean, zero trash pre-recycling solution before you transfer scraps to your compost bin.
Our approach is completely different.
Many electric composters or at home recycling machines attempt to process or grind organic waste. The Organics Collector is not a composter.
Instead, it is a low-power food collector device designed for:
- clean indoor organics storage
- odor prevention
- bacterial growth control
- convenient weekly disposal
We focus on the most important aspects of the ZeroTrash lifestyle:
- Ease
- Convenience
- Efficient pre-recycling
The OC keeps organic waste from developing unpleasant odors for roughly one week, eliminating the need for frequent removals — without noise, heavy energy usage, or complex processing cycles.
It’s a smarter, cleaner alternative for anyone looking for a zero waste recycling solution that actually fits real life.
The OC consumes very low amounts of energy.
Peak consumption per month: 5.1 kWh
Estimated monthly cost: approximately $0.84
Compared to many electric composters, this makes the OC a far more energy-efficient solution for at-home organic waste collection.
It is designed to support sustainable living without increasing your electricity bill.
The OC is designed to handle a variety of kitchen organics, including:
- Fruit peels
- Vegetable scraps
- Coffee grounds
- Loose tea
- Egg shells
- Rotten fruits/vegetables
- Leftover food
- Meat, bones, fish, and seafood
If you’re unsure about specific items like eggshells or vegetable scraps, read our guide.
The OC functions as a practical food collector for households working toward zero waste recycling or participating in municipal organics programs.
Please avoid placing the following in the Organics Collector:
- Liquids (soup, juices, water)
- Large volumes of fat (oil, butter, margarine)
- Non-compostable waste (plastic, coated paper)
- Recyclables (metal, glass)
- Excessive amounts of cheese or yogurt
The OC is designed specifically for organic waste and pre-recycling — not for general trash or mixed recycling streams.
Keeping non-organic materials out ensures optimal performance and filter longevity.
Once the food waste is dried and stored, simply transfer it to:
- A municipal organics cart
- A curbside compost bin
- An outdoor composter
The OC is designed as a bridge between your kitchen and your final composting solution — helping households manage organics cleanly and conveniently.
Yes.
The OC utilizes ozone to sanitize internal components, helping prevent bacterial growth and odors.
This sanitation cycle:
- Is brief
- Occurs periodically
- Includes visible blue LED indicators
- May produce a faint “fresh air after rain” scent
The product has obtained ETL certification, confirming compliance with North American safety standards.
The ETL Mark is recognized across the U.S. and confirms that the product meets strict electrical and health safety requirements.
Safety and odor control are core to the Clear Drop recycling philosophy.
The charcoal filter typically lasts up to 3 months under normal household use.
However, lifespan may vary depending on:
- Moisture levels
- Waste type
- Frequency of use
For optimal odor control and filtration performance, we recommend replacing the filter every 3 months.
Replacement filters are available here.
Simply remove the old filter and insert a new one — no tools required.
The OC supports households working toward:
- Zero trash living
- Cleaner indoor food waste storage
- Compliance with organic waste separation laws
- More efficient recycling systems
By preventing odor, reducing mess, and simplifying weekly disposal, the Organics Collector makes sustainable living practical — not overwhelming.
It’s not just about composting.
It’s about building a smarter, cleaner, more convenient at-home recycling habit.
We’d love to hear from you.
