The Biostack Compost Bin is one I have used, and it is very efficient when dealing with a lot of yard and kitchen waste. In Alameda County in California, residents could get them at a good discount. I had to empty two Earth Movers because they couldn't handle all the waste -- switched to a Biostack that handled it better.
