Best Answer

Objects that are rich in carbon rot, decay, and break down to form compost. Examples are brown compostable materials, such as fallen leaves. Other objects that are rich in nitrogen likewise rot, decay, and break down. Examples are green compostable materials, such as freshly cut grass clippings. And still other objects such as paper and paper products, similarly rot, decay, and break down.
