You can make your own composter too. The former owner of our house made it of a few planks and chipboard and it worked fine for me for the last three years. I just always forget to turn it a few times a year...
Only thing the twigs probably should be chopped or shredded before putting them on the heap. I have a range though, and i leave them to dry for a while and then use them to start the fire.
And there is a fine example of recycling in Amateur Gardening magazine issue september 29 2007, p.59. Peter Seabrook made his composter of old wire frames lined with cut-open polythene compost bags (black side outwards).
