From the hole you can receive excess moisture that can be used as fertiliser.
At the bottom put a layer of:

cork
or sawdust and broken branches.
Cover with a layer of soil about 5cm thick.
Put the waste over it and cover again with a soil layer.
Repeat the process of covering with soil for every layer of waste.
Cover the pot with a metal lid.
Stir the contents once or twice a week.
After approximately 6-8 weeks the composting has finished.
