Why is putting household waste in a compost heap better than putting it in a dustbin?

That the dustbin gets emptied in a landfill and that the compost heap returns decomposed materials back to the soilis a reason why putting household waste in the compost heap takes precedence over putting it in the dustbin.
Specifically, household waste can decompose in a compost heap or a local landfill. But the heap is more environmentally friendly since the materials decompose through aerobic decomposition, or break-down in the presence of air. The landfill is the site of anaerobic decomposition, or break-down in the absence of air, and therefore results in an increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases what with the methane thereby produced.
