I like the garbage can idea Redbaron. For clarity, you don't add any water right? Just toss grass clippings on top and close the lid? Then in a week or two toss them into your regular compost pile?

Yes, no water. That is because absolutely fresh grass clipping have a lot of water, and the "drippings" will drain into the brown oak leaves. Grass clippings can get pretty slimy, especially the bottom layers. This way the slime wetness absorbs into chopped leaves. Then you would kinda mix and fluff before adding to your normal compost pile several days later. At that time of course you would add some water ... but only if needed. My normal compost pile has plenty of drainage though.
