  • Food waste, left-overs and food stuffs gone bad
  • Fruit and root vegetable peels, eggshells
  • Congealed frying fat or pork grease packed, e.g., in an empty milk carton
  • Small, for example, bird bones and parings
  • Used cooking oil in a plastic bottle
  • Coffee grounds and used tea leaves and bags
  • Kitchen paper and paper napkins
  • Wilted flowers and small amounts of houseplant potting soil
  • Cleaning waste from pet cages and small amounts of biodegradable cat litter
