Suz, I don't use a liner for the compost bucket. I have a stainless steel canister I bought at Target for $10-15.
I use this bags for the trashcan:

They qualify for Subscribe and Save (as do some Ecover and Mrs Meyers products). I have tried a few other recycled or composting bags for trash and they weren't worth it because they ripped or otherwise fell apart. These are awesome.
re: the rats...how big of an issue is that now? At our last house, the neighbor had one rat that lived by their shed and compost. That wouldn't bother me so much. The problem for us started with the chicken feed and once we hit double digits on a rat population, I'm skeeved out. I haven't noticed rats around this house, just raccoons. Our neighbors did the spinning composter because I think they had issues with rodents and one on the ground. That and our previous rat problem is why I went with the spinning one. Before the chickens, I put rabbit fencing on the bottom of the composter so animals couldn't burrow up into it. I think that helped. FWIW, I never had rodent problems in Denver. They might have snacked from time to time but it wasn't an on-going issue. The Earth Machines are much less expensive than the spinning ones.
