Yes, yard wastes can be put in compost heaps.

Specifically, yard waste generally designates grass clippings and leaf litter. What drops off -- or is trimmed from -- herbaceous and woody plants usually is eligible for decomposition into compost and use as amendments, fertilizers or mulches. But it must not harbor any diseases or pests.
