Just recently by request, we acquired some pallets from a friend of ours so that we could make a compost bin. It is very simple, but I think it will work out perfectly for our needs. We made 2 sides. We used 7 pallets and my hubby just nailed the sides, back and middle together.
For the front we are using bungee cords to hold the pallets in place that way we can just open them up as needed to toss it from one side to the other. 
We dump all of our food scraps into an old coffee can that sits on our counter. Each night I have one of the boys go out and dump the can into one side of the box.Prior to this we would just throw our scraps into a pile in the woods and cover them with leaves. This process also works. I just like having an official location to through everything. And it will all stay in one place.

We just began our first compost bin- with a very similar design! Thanks for sharing.
