In an apartment, a worm bin is relatively easy, but there are items that even worms don't like from what I've read.
My city just served me a code compliance violation for my open air compost bin. Apparently they consider it a rat-feeding area. My hacked solution was to buy some large black plastic trash cans and drill holes in the bottom, sides, and lid. Makes it more annoying to aerate, but $15 per bin is a lot better than $80+ for the rotating ones.
