Plywood, pressure-treated hardwoods and snow fencing for containers and prunings, sawdust and twigs for materials are the wood which should be used to build a compost pile.

Specifically, the corner posts to a compost bin or container have to be pressure-treated whereas plywood and snow Fencing can be used as lids and on sides. Clippings, sawdust and twigs - which need to be piled up on the bottom of the pile if they are incorporated into the heap - may be used as compostable materials. Other than the bottom layer, clipped/pruned/trimmed wood and sawdust must be cut down in very small pieces and sprinkled in light layers.

Yes, wood can be put in compost bins because it is an organic substance and, like all things organic, it can decompose. The smaller the wood is, the quicker it decomposes.
