Composting Quiz: Trivia Facts!

Eggshells are easily decomposable meaning the easily break down, which helps the soil.

Batteries cannot be composted because they contain toxic chemicals that can contaminate the soil and harm the organisms involved in the composting process.

Yes, pizza crusts can be composted. Composting is the process of breaking down organic materials into nutrient-rich soil. Pizza crusts are made from flour, water, yeast, and sometimes oil, all of which are organic materials. These ingredients can decompose and contribute to the compost pile, eventually turning into nutrient-rich compost that can be used to fertilize plants and gardens. However, it is important to note that if the pizza crusts contain any toppings or sauces, those should be removed before composting.

Pencil shavings can be put in a compost bin because they are made of wood, which is a biodegradable material. When pencil shavings are added to a compost bin, they will break down over time and contribute to the nutrient-rich compost.

However, it is important to note that only plain, unbleached toilet paper should be composted, as bleached or colored toilet paper may contain chemicals that are harmful to the composting process.

Ashes from the fireplace, as long as they are from untreated wood, can also be added to the compost pile as a source of minerals. However, stuffing from stuffed animals cannot be composted as it is usually made of synthetic materials that do not break down easily in the composting process.
