There is no reason why banana and orange peels should sit in landfills.

Specifically, banana and orange peels can be added to above- or under-ground compost piles. Above-ground is faster and more immediate since the peels - as long as they are cut down into smaller pieces - benefit from regular exposure to air, light, moisture, and turning. But their addition must be factored into the calculation of carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials. Otherwise, their unbalanced presence will affect pH levels and therefore composting.
