From Down The Drain to Useable Compost Material In 3 Simple Steps
1
Put all of your food scraps down your drain.
2
Push the button-- in 7 seconds, the cycle will finish.
3
Once a week, empty bin into backyard compost or green bin.
Compact Design That Fits Anywhere
Root’s slim, under-sink build fits in kitchens where other composters can’t — even with farmhouse sinks or tight cabinet spaces while still holding enough scraps for a family of four. By staying out of sight, it keeps counters clear, kitchens beautiful, and composting effortless.
Odor-Sealed Bin Keeps Kitchen Fresh for Weeks
While the average family of four will fill up Root weekly, the airtight collection bin locks in smells and keeps pests out, holding up to 4 weeks of food scraps without a hint of odor. Your kitchen stays fresh and clean — even if you forget it’s there.
Why Root Beats Disposals and Dehydrators
See how Root stacks up against garbage disposals and countertop dehydrators—it’s cleaner, easier, and better for your home and the planet.
Garbage Disposals
❌ Grinds scraps into slurry that overloads pipes & septic fields
❌ Wastes water every time you run it
❌ Sends food waste to treatment plants (not compost)
Root
✅ Captures food scraps cleanly under the sink
✅ Keeps odors, pests, and mess out of the kitchen
✅ Reduces landfill waste and lowers your carbon footprint
Electric Countertop Composters
❌ Take up valuable counter space
❌ Create dried “food dust,” not true compost
❌ Use lots of electricity to dehydrate scraps

Root Helps You Change The World
Every time you scrape your plate into Root, you’re keeping food waste out of landfills — preventing harmful methane emissions and protecting our waterways from fats, oils, and grease.
By using Root, the average household can divert hundreds of pounds of food waste each year, cutting methane emissions by up to 60 kg of CO₂ equivalents — about the same climate benefit as planting over 2,600 trees annually.
With Root, your kitchen becomes part of the climate solution — effortlessly, every single day.
