You can use pallets, bricks, or even a trash can with holes drilled throughout it, top, and sides. Here are a few links that might helps: http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G6957 http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,20346968,00.html @Sara, Yes, making a compost bin is relatively easy.

I live in Morocco and compost bins are not sold here. I would rather build a bin than have a compost pile in my yard. What specifications do I need to have to make the bin- holes for air, access to the bottom of the pile, plastic vs. wood??? Thanks for your suggestions!

If you prefer a large bin that sits on the ground there are a few with bottoms to them, like this one: http://www.cleanairgardening.com/compostingbin.html Also do you best to keep food scraps deep within the pile so the odor does not attract the rodents. @Willow,
