The present invention relates to a device for the storage and treatment of biodegradable wet solid waste, especially for vegetarian household waste materials. The device consists of a bucket shaped container with a mesh bottom and a removable cover with a hole at the center. The container is provided with a leachate collection basket at the bottom, which is mounted on an iron stand to hold the device. Openings are provided on the lateral surface of the basket for ventilation. The waste is added to the container from the top by hand lifting the lid. The ventilation facilitates degradation of the material in side the container, reducing the release of odour and, leachate. The volume of the waste also gets reduced because of self-compaction. In one embodiment the storage and treatment device is provided in the form of a house hold kit.
