Yes, grass clippings belong in the compost pile. They break down readily within a year, cooperate with composting procedures, exhibit maneuverable size, and number among the eligible carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclable materials from which dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter forms in the compost pile.

Composting do's and don'ts?
Do's: Do compost fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, and yard waste like leaves and grass clippings. Do maintain a good balance of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials in your compost pile. Do turn your compost regularly to aerate it and help with decomposition. Don'ts: Don't compost meat, dairy, oils, or pet waste as they can attract pests and create odors. Don't add diseased plants or weeds with seeds to your compost pile, as they can spread diseases or infest your garden. Don't overwater your compost pile, as it can become too wet and slow down the composting process.
