One good example of food waste that can be added to compost is fruit and vegetable scraps. This includes peels, cores, or any small portions that are typically discarded in the kitchen, such as apple cores, banana peels, carrot tops, or potato peels. These scraps are rich in nutrients and can contribute to the overall nutritional balance of the compost. Remember to avoid adding any cooked or oily foods, meat, dairy products, or fatty items to compost as they can attract pests or create odor issues.
