FAQ

Order

What size should I buy?

It depends on how much cooking you do on a daily basis, how often you take the food waste out, and how big your space is. If you’re not quite sure which size is right for you, measure your countertop or space under the sink first. Our compost bin comes in two sizes.

2L: D 4.7", H 7.9"
3L: D 5.5", H 8.7"

Can I cancel my order?

We completely get it, we change our minds too! While we wish could, once an order is placed, we get busy packing and sending and most likely won’t able to catch it in time.

We would be happy to take it back if it sadly doesn’t work out for you. Return shipping fee will apply.

I am interested in buying in high quantities. Do you have a bulk order or wholesale discount?

Let’s chat! Please reach out to support@vatya.com to learn more about our wholesale and stocking program.

Can I put Vatya products in the oven or the microwave oven?

Our products are made for storing, displaying, and serving, not cooking. The wood part may overheat in the oven, and it is unsafe to put stainless steel in the microwave - so be safe and do not place your Vatya in the oven, microwave, or otherwise.
