Yes you can - they will rot anyway once in the compost and that is what they are supposed to do when they begin breaking down.

Answer 6

yes – Yes – YES!!!!!

It’s a great idea. None of those “throw aways” should be wasted or sent to a landfill. They will enrich your compost exponentially.

Add anything you eat - that was once alive - to your compost pile or bin.

Except any meat, fish or grease. Although those things will decompose – they will also attract unwanted animals and they will stink. Better to send them to the landfill.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Absolutely!
