∙ 14y agoAs for yard waste you can add grass clippings, leaves, pulled up plants or weeds that haven't gone to seed, hay or straw and dirt. You can also add sawdust if is from untreated wood. The thing is you don't want to add too much of any one thing or it gets out of whack. A compost pile needs both carbon material and nitrogen material to stay in balance. By making sure that you have some of many different types of things in your pile you will ensure that it stays in balance. There are many food items that can be added to a compost pile. Coffee grounds, used tea bags, melon rinds, peelings, corn cobs, egg shells, fruits and vegetables. If something has gone bad in your fridge or on your counter it might be great for your compost pile. You do NOT want to add any meats, eggs or dairy products to your pile. You can tear up cardboard boxes, shred newspapers and even break styrofoam into small pieces and add it to compost piles. I just make sure not to add too much of these ingredients.
