Is there any way that I could use a simple trashcan for a compost bin?

I can't really afford paying a lot of money for a compost bin thing, and
I don't want an ugly compost pile.

Is there anything that I can do to "modify" a trash can with a locking
lid to compost beautifully?

I found the compost containers to be ugly, expensive, and they don't
work any better than traditional methods. Make a 4' diameter
cylinder (3 or 4 feet high) from some old fencing, chicken wire, or
hardware cloth. These compost bins are barely noticeable. I have
three of these made from fencing and they work exceptionally well.
Cheaper yet, just pile the compost on the ground.
