composter
Kitchen scrap processor
A composter is a container or system for decomposing organic waste into nutrient-rich soil amendment.
Backyard composters range from simple bins to rotating drums: We toss vegetable scraps into the composter.
The word also refers to a person who composts: She's become an avid composter since moving to the country.
