Can I put dog food in my compost bin?

Umm...😕

It's complicated, whether you can put dog food into your composting bin, so read on!

You can put pet food and treats including dog bones, rawhide and catnip in your green cart for composting.

However, it's important to note that dog food is high in protein and may attract pests or emit odors as it decomposes.

It's a good idea to mix dog food with other materials in the compost bin, as having too much of any one type of material can lead to imbalanced compost.

You should also be sure to turn the compost regularly to help ensure that the materials are breaking down properly and to minimize any potential odors.

In general, it's a good idea to avoid adding meat, bones, and other animal products to a home composting bin, as these materials can take a long time to break down and may attract pests.

It's also important to avoid adding any materials to your compost bin that may contain chemicals or other contaminants, as these substances could potentially contaminate the compost.
