These filters are NOT for the stainless steel composters. The marketing on Amazon is done poorly and doesn't reflect the correct version of the composter. I was in contact with the seller about this issue. If you have to buy filters, buy them from Home Naturals. That company goes the extra mile for customer satisfaction and I would definately buy from Home Naturals again.

Interesting how a product shown as circular can have the following dimensions: 8.5 x 7.2 x 0.5 inches!

Norpro could make everyone's life easier by including measurements with their filter product packaging and advertising. Amazon, and most other sites that sell compost pail filters, should also include correct measurements. Some sets of filters shown as circular on Amazon and other sites actually include one circular and one square filter.

Regular Filters, but there's nowhere mentioned the size and they don't fit the compost bin I bought. Many times I did not find enough information on amazon's webpage about size!

I purchased my compost pail at Marshall's a few years ago. I still see the same pail there occasionally. The Norpro stainless steel version I purchased came with one extra filter, and looks exactly like the pail on Amazon. However, the filter that came with the pail was about 7 3/4 inches in diameter and fit snugly into the lid. The replacement is between 5 and 6 inches in diameter and would not stay put since it is too small.

I garden and I also have a large compost file. My husband built a screen with wire mesh, similar to chicken wire but a little smaller wire spacing, so we can filter the large sticks out of our compost before we spread it on our lawn.

Using tin snips, I did the following:
1. Cut a piece of leftover wire mesh a little larger than the lid and bent it to snap into the lid.
2. I place the filter in first and snap in the piece of wire.

WARNING: the cut edges will be sharp if not smoothed with a file, so handle with care.

It works great. (I probably should patent the contraption, but I am offering the workaround for free). Since the wire is galvanized steel it should hold up and not rust, and it allows air to flow through the filter. It has not rusted and I have been using it about a year.

The price for the filters is worth the purchase to me. I tried to locate the material to make my own but I didn't quickly find a source, so this is workaround sufficed.

Hard to see size on these I have a slightly larger can than the one pictured These will do but not quite as large as I wanted

Vendor sent wrong filter since the size is not shown when ordering.
Needed filter 7.5" - 8" and received 5.5" Dia.
Sent them an email to purchase the correct size, no answer.
Probably will not reorder from this vendor

I admit to not emptying my compost pail as frequently as I should. So keeping the smell contained is really important. These babies do the trick beautifully.

These filters are inexpensive but do not properly fit the Norpro compost keep I previously bought. The original filters are thick and round, fitting snugly into the lid, these are thin and small. They do an OK job of keeping the smell in the compost can but gnats and fruit flies have free reign and love breeding between the 2 filters. I would have reviewed sooner but I thought this was a fluke. However, recently I purchased more filters from a different vendor and they were also thin and small. Now I am not sure how to find the right sized filters.

I love this compost bucket. These filters fit perfectly. They are thinner than the original square/ circle combination, but they work perfectly.

This kitchen counter compost pot is excellent so that you don't have to clog your drains or push more waste into the water system. And these filters made it better by keeping the smell away until you can empty the container after several days when it is filled.
