"A NatureMill automatic composter recycles its weight in waste every 10 days, diverting over two tons of waste from landfills over its life. This reduces emissions of methane, a harmful greenhouse gas produced when organic matter decomposes in oxygen-starved landfills. Compost returns nutrients to the environment, reducing our need for chemical fertilizers. NatureMill uses 5 kwh / month of energy - or about $0.50/month - less than a garbage truck would burn in diesel fuel to haul the same waste. It is made from recycled and recyclable materials."

Outside bins are still the most economical.

Also, the obvious savings is in $$$$$$: when you don't need to go to Home Depot to buy bags of soil/compost, you save big bucks.  Each bag of that is well over $10.  So, with the Natural Mill System, you could save $50-100 a year!  (Can you please edit this solution Mr. Pants?)
