I have been thinking about this for a while and want the easiest least messy way of doing it. I recall long time back a friend used a worm based method that seemed pretty self sustaining. I am concerned about large unsightly messes that neighbors may frown upon so a clean solution is most welcome.

I have a Green Johanna from Green Cone. It's well built, robust, and the drab green colour blends pretty well into the shrubs I've sat it between.

The Johanna has a hatch at the base to extract mature compost, and a lid to secure it from pests and keep the smell down. The shape stops the compost from sticking to the sides so it collapses down well allowing me to add 1-2 large bags of green waste each month.

I was also going to get a Can-O-Worms wormery, but that was vetoed by my wife because of the wriggling.
The Can-O-Worms is a self contained wormery that has several layers. You add waste to the top layer and the worms gradually migrate upwards as they finish each layer, so the bottom layer is left as mature compost and no worms. It also has a collector and tap for the liquid waste, which makes a very good liquid fertiliser. You can buy them as a set complete with a bag of worms, for example from this site (I can only post one link I'm afraid: www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/shop/foundoption.lasso?findit=Can-O-Worms)

I like the Green Cone (how it works link: solarcone.net/system/in_depth.php), especially that it is self sustaining. Thanks for the suggestion. – HiteshP♦ Nov 24 at 22:06
