It is generally not recommended to put beef into a home composting bin.

Beef is a high-fat food that can attract pests and animals to your compost bin, and it may not break down properly in a home composting system.

In addition, the smell of beef can be unpleasant and may attract unwanted attention to your compost bin.

It's best to avoid adding beef to your compost bin and instead dispose of it in your regular trash.

You may either use a Bokashi bucket before transferring it to an outside container or just add it to the mound.

As long as you only add a small quantity of meat to the pile, you should be fine.
