Pallette Bin

Pallette Bin
All kinds of materials are suitable for holding bins. As long as the design allows for the admission of air into the pile of organic stuff within and drainage of moisture to the outside, almost anything goes.

[Line drawing - Pallette Bin]

Scrap wooden pallets make a fine compost or holding bin if you happen to have access to such a resource. Stand them on their edges so that they make 3 or four foot tall sides for the enclosure. Fasten them together so that they form a box and start storing yard debris.
