Are they compost bins or wormeries? I think wormeries were always touted as the place to put all the meat and cooked stuff you couldn't put in a compo bin?

our council had these on offer.they do compost left over meat etc.
feed back from locals were so-so , some said the bins stank! some had rat problems , some thought they were great. we decided not to get one due to the high cost.
