Hi Coco, how big are those buckets?  If they're the Fisher Price buckets, I think they're closer to 3 or 4 gallons.  If they're 5 gallon buckets, they don't look to be full.  Can you do another one to get up to 10 total gallons?

Hi Mike,
Yes it is the buckets from the Fisher Price House. I'll take photos of one more bucket and add it to my post.
Thanks Mike!

Ruth Stout Composting Submission 1 of 6

I am using the kitchen scrap collection bucket in the Fisher Price House. I measured it by filling an empty bucket with water from a quart size mason jar. It took eight quarts to be a little below full for the bucket, so, I think the bucket is about two gallons of scraps.

I will make five more submissions like this, and I think that will hopefully qualify for completion of this BB! (Since the buckets aren't super to the brim full, I'll do six submissions)
