What else should be put into the compost pile besides toilet materials?
All food scraps should also go into the compost bin. These can include meats, bones, fats, vegetable peels, liquids such as spoiled milk or stale beer, tea bags, egg shells, hair, and anything else that is organic and produced by the household during food production and consumption. Of course, bones and meat scraps can also go to a dog and food scraps to a pig, but these materials can also go into the compost pile. So can cotton sanitary napkins (although you will have to pick out pieces of plastic from the compost when it is finished). Small animal mortalities such as dead chickens, ducks or other creatures can be recycled through a compost pile as well. Other animal manures, such as chicken manure, sheep manure, horse manure, goat manure, etc., are also excellent for adding to a compost pile. If you have large amounts of animal manures, such as from a herd of animals, much of the animal manure can be composted separately so your household humanure compost bin does not fill too quickl
