- Container for (usually) tea leaves from tea bags (and the occasional coffee grind) to dry out (otherwise they attract fruit flies)... gets treated like the egg container.
- Recycle bin (corner of the kitchen)
- Garbage bin (under the sink and covered)
- Green bin (bones, organic material)

Any grease gets sopped up by paper towels and then tossed in the green bin.
They are fairly common in the US. That said, I've only ever had them in rental units, and haven't really wanted one in my house, because it is just one more thing to break.
