CrumleyFamily has a basic how-to on making a self contained compost bin with a rotating compost chamber out of a large trash can - "Most compost bins have some basic draw-backs that make urban composting a pain: They're expensive, they're not portable, aerating the compost is difficult, there's no way to separate the composted material from the non-composted material. I recently made a second (and I believe, successful) attempt at making the ideal urban compost bin." - Link & photo set.
