I set it up on a pair of 4"x4" blocks about 16" long, with the blocks
under the ends of the Rubbermaid worm bin, and that makes it
easy to slide a shallow cake pan (for making those rectangular
spice cakes, or cornbread, etc) or a shallow Tupperware container
about the right size and shape underneath it. The leachate
simply drains out through the drain holes in the bottom of the
worm bin into the container underneath it, making it easy to
check it every so often and empty it as necessary.
You get a few worms crawling out the bottom through the drain
holes, too, but not in big numbers. I just scoop them out of the
leachate and drop them in the garden, compost pile, a nearby
container for a plant, or back into the worm bin.
