As Felder Says, " Rule #1 Stop throwing that stuff away. Rule #2 Pile it up."

Or, you can get real elaborate if you compost your table scraps too and don't want the critters digging in your pile. 

Take a look at this fancy ECOmposter at COSTCO It looks like an easy way to get into compost production. It is 32 inches in diameter and one of the practical rules is that the pile needs to be 3 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot to build enough heat to effectively compost. Maybe the black color, patented air tubes and shape do give the ECOmposter the ability to heat up and work quickly as they claim. You would have to have it nearly full and the stand that allows you to spin it is included at that price only when you purchase it from Costco. It would be difficult to manage for some folks without the stand. Will it keep the racoons out of your food scraps? I have seen some smart and toothy racoons and would like to know if anyone has an ECOmposter and can declare it bandito proof and an efficient tool. Costco's 100% satisfaction gauranteed return policy is another reason it is one of my favorite stores.
