I used to make bins from used pallets when I could get them from work. They gradually decayed so I invested in five modular linked square bins. One is for leaf mould (12 months in pierced plastic sacks & 12 months in bin- oak & beech mostly take an age to break down).The other 4 for general garden & kitchen waste, shredded paper, and cardboard. One being filled, one "cooking", one nearly ready, one ready to use as needed and one empty waiitng. I can bore for hours on this (and many other subjects!). I don't use an accelerator, as these are mostly dried urea, being "caught short" (it's an old man thing!) at the end of the garden works as well!.
