Where to start with composting?

Question

What is the best way to get rid of garden waste quickly without bin collections? With grass cuttings piling up in the bin I need to know how I can start composting asap. Where is the best place for a compost bin? Do I even need a compost bin or can I just make a pile somewhere? What can I put in it??

You can set up bays where you put your green waste & eventually it will break down into composte, usually takes around 6 to 12 months to be effective

All Depends on how much you will be recycling, how many in The House How big a Garden
But for average Households the Council will Supply you with a Compost Bin F.O.C it’s a Plastic Type very Good.
Need a Firm base such as Paving Stone so you can get ready available Compost out.
Grass Cuttings very good, mixed with household food, the grass cuttings will heat and breakdown everything else.
Worth purchasing Some Tiger Composting Worms, you can now get an accelerator 
But not necessary 
Hope this Helps

I recently did a job and they wanted a similar area but at low cost so I built one out of pallets they had screwed it all together as a box and they where very happy with it

Ideally start your compost bin in spring and for best results combine a mixture of soft, green, nitrogen-rich material and dry, brown, carbon-rich material in roughly even quantities. The main rule is not to let one material dominate the heap.
Good things to compost include vegetable peelings, fruit waste, teabags, plant prunings, fallen leaves and grass cuttings.

Start your compost pile on bare earth. ...
Lay twigs or straw first, a few inches deep. ...
Add compost materials in layers, alternating moist and dry. ...
Add manure, green manure (clover, buckwheat, wheatgrass, grass clippings) or any nitrogen source. ...
Keep compost moist.
I keep my compost bin at the rear of the garden
