The Poplar Smart Bin was designed to fit your home, your countertop, and your daily meal prep rituals. No unsavory smells, no handsfull moments, and no wasting of your precious counter space.
A bin deserving of your time, attention, and counter space. The Smart Bin was designed as a timeless addition to replace bins that have outstayed their welcome.
Designed with you in mind. The Smart Bin was created to fit your life and solve the issues that humans - like you - have faced for years with other countertop bins.

Poplar only requires charging once every few months and is not an "always plugged in" device like (not so) similar other at home devices on the market. The Smart Base requires very little energy & only refreshes every 15 minutes in order to expand battery life as long as possible while still reporting your impact — no motors to churn your food or inefficient heating coils.
Absolutely! We see ourselves as partners to haulers and even work directly with them in some regions — often offering discounts for those who choose to upgrade to Poplar. If you're currently using a hauler, we'd love to hear about your experience, so feel free to send us a message!
