It is very useful info because we usualy put any organic waste in the compost bin without even knowing it is wrong… So now we don’t have any excuse!!!
You are right, it quite usefull to have a list of what wastes can be coposted or not, you can of course see differences according to the composting bin you buy, so it is important to ask detailed information from the store you buy it.
