will i just be able to use a normal bin and put grass cutting and that

No, probably not.
The compost should be in contact with the ground.

As for lawn clippings, the best thing to do with them is leave
them on the lawn.

Saves you taking the grass to the compost pile, making compost
then spreading it on the lawn.
