Larger pots might be better. I've heard of gardeners using large garbage cans. I'm guessing that they might drill holes somewhere in the can or lid, but maybe not. With all of the shellfish that we usually add to the pile, that might be a cheap but secure way of composting for us.

A 31 gallon trash can with a lid can be had through Amazon for only $32.42. Free shipping, too.

Yep, I’ve read that on this very website. Walmart had some 30 gallon last fall for around $15.

I actually had thought too about using an old plastic laundry hamper. Drilling holes in the bottom. Once it’s full, just duct tape it closed, maybe even whip a bungee cord around it, and roll it around every once in a while.

I’ve also been intrigued with just filling up a trashbag and poking holes in it, and setting it out behind the bushes and trees that hide our burn barrels or big compost pile.

I don’t really need anything that large for bones, eggshells, and banana peels, and I keep a container under the sink for the rest of the kitchen stuff, then take it out to the big pile when it is full.

During the summer it all goes to the big pile daily or at least every other day! LOL
