I do not have big trees on the property to collect leaves. I know my tomatoes go creasy when we put fish heads and other parts in the soil and coffee and eggshells were composted for few year now.
I was surprised at how much of our waste was compostable. Too much. My containers get filled quick.
I'd throw some worms in the containers. Add a few drain holes near the bottom,too.
