It is probably not a good idea as toxic preservatives in the pressure treated wood can leach into the compost and then become incorporated in plants and their fruit and vegetables grown in that compost later. But using appropriate lining materials to completely prevent any contact between the pressure treated wood and the compost inside would avoid this problem. So a complete answer to your question is not simple.

What do you need to make a compost bin?

Plywood, pressure-treated hardwoods and snow fencing for containers and prunings, sawdust and twigs for materials are the wood which should be used to build a compost pile.Specifically, the corner posts to a compost bin or container have to be pressure-treated whereas plywood and snow fencing can be used as lids and on sides. Clippings, sawdust and twigs - which need to be piled up on the bottom of the pile if they are incorporated into the heap - may be used as compostable materials. Other than the bottom layer, clipped/pruned/trimmed wood and sawdust must be cut down in very small pieces and sprinkled in light layers.
