Trash to treasure of a different variety

As I think about gardening next year, I return to another idea I've wanted to implement for quite awhile. And that is composting.
I did a quick search and came up with this post by Wes, who lives in Los Angeles and I thought - if he can do it, I can do it!
Wes uses a trash bin as his compost container and we happen to have two bins of our own. I've found in the last few months that I've taken over "trash duty" that we've been using only one of the bins on a regular basis, so I think I'm going to re-purpose the other one to start my compost bin! (Shhh...don't tell my hubby. He doesn't like change so much!)
