The local waste management people here in Cincinnati also had a
similar offer a few years ago. I took the seminar, the free compost
bin (since it was my taxes paying for it anyway) and have since
constructed compost pits, bins, turning 'barrels', etc, all with great
success.
My first compost pile was made with the remains of 2 baby gates and
worked well enough that steam constantly rose from it in cold weather.
My advice: take the seminar, the 'free' compost bin, and go for it.

What is the Purpose of a compost bin and why should I care?

My local Waste Management Department is giving away a free compost bin if I
attend a seminar on composting.

Is it possible to build a compost bin myself? What has other people made
theirs out of?
