You can compost just about everything organic in your garbage, that is, all food scraps, all kinds of paper and cardboard, natural fiber like cotton and linen.

It is recommended that you do not try to compost meat and fish leftovers, as they may smell and attract flies or animals, but if you have a secure compost system, or the meat is buried out of reach of flies, then you can compost them as well.

By being careful you can cut down your garbage to a very small amount of plastic wrapping, and, if you are serious about being green, you can arrange your shopping so that you bring home as little of this as possible.
