"The SPC device helps me reduce waste before it even hits the recycling bin."

"A convenient device that fits perfectly on the table. I used to use a simple bucket, but the smell and flies that regularly settled in there required daily trash removal. Now I can do it every 7-10 days. It's a clear savings on bags and time. The automatic lid is very convenient and keeps the odor out completely. Overall, I highly recommend it."

"My family appreciates the ease of recycling our sof plastic waste with Clear Drop compactor! It makes us happy to be contributing to diminishing the plastics that end up in landfills and the ocean."

"Finally, no more stink or bugs in my kitchen! 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."

Solving a real problem

Join us in embracing a ZeroTrash® Lifestyle to minimize recycling headaches and environmental impact.

90% of soft plastic ends up in landfills in the U.S.

Placing soft plastic in a recycling bin isn't enough. Most curbside programs don't take it due to contamination, tangling in machines, and disrupting the recycling process.

95% of food waste is not recycled in the U.S.

Most of this organic waste ends up in landfills, contributing to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.

More on our mission

Fits into your lifestyle

Clear Drop simplifies sustainable living with smart, user-friendly appliances designed to seamlessly integrate into your daily routine. With advanced compaction, odor control, and energy-efficient processing, SPC and OC help you manage waste effortlessly while building eco-friendly habits.
