Sybil,
re: kitchen scraps - The odor and gnats caused me to stop saving kitchen scraps more than once until I started using a dog food container that has a rubber seal and snap closer that is so very easy to use one-handed. I want to open it, deposit scraps and close it very quickly and this works great.

Tractor Supply has them: http://www.tractorsupply.com/pet-feeders/iris-usa-trade-airt... . This one is bigger than mine but you may need bigger because you do so much volume cooking.

I bought mine at Petsmart because I have two and one is actually for dog food and the other for kitchen scraps. http://www.petsmart.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=dog foo... The $14.99 in the photo is the one I use.

re: llama poo - The whole llama "beans" will turn rock hard if just left in the sun to dry. Mix it with hay or leaves and moisten. If you're not ready to start your compost bins yet, those green buckets I gave you work great for storing ingredients for your compost. Lowe's has a tight lid for them for 99 cents, I think. That's what I store my ag molasses and stuff in too.
