Explanation
Shredded newspaper, used matches, and ashes from the fireplace can all be composted. Shredded newspaper is a carbon-rich material that adds bulk and helps with aeration in the compost pile. Used matches are made of wood and can break down in 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.

Explanation
Batteries cannot be composted because they contain toxic chemicals that can contaminate the soil and harm the organisms involved in the composting process. Composting is a natural process that breaks down organic materials into nutrient-rich soil, but batteries are not organic and cannot be broken down in the same way. Instead, batteries should be recycled properly to prevent environmental pollution.

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.

Explanation
Shredded toilet paper rolls can be composted because they are made from biodegradable materials such as paper fibers. Composting is a natural process that breaks down organic materials into nutrient-rich soil. Since toilet paper is made from paper, it can easily decompose in a compost pile along with other organic waste. 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.
