Yes. Compost bins accept kitchen scraps other than dairy, greasey and oily, and meat products; and yard wastes such as grass clippings. Compostable materials may be grouped into the brown carbon-rich and the green nitrogen-rich categories. The peelings and other compostable materials break down into dark brown, fresh-smelling, organic matter-rich soil in anywhere from just under a month to just under a year. The amount of time that composting takes depends upon the type of material that's put into the compost bin or pile; and upon the meeting of certain standards. For the bin or pile must be kept adequately aired, heated, moistened and turned.
