It is generally not recommended to put fur or other animal products, such as bones or meat, into a home composting bin.
These materials can take a long time to break down and may attract pests and animals, leading to unpleasant odors and potentially attracting pests such as rats and other vermin.
In addition, animal products can harbor harmful bacteria and parasites that can contaminate the compost and potentially cause illness.
If you have fur or other animal products that you want to dispose of, it is generally best to follow local guidelines for waste disposal.
In many cases, animal products can be disposed of with household waste or taken to a local waste management facility for proper disposal.
If you are interested in composting at home, there are many other materials that you can add to your compost bin, including plant-based materials such as food scraps, yard waste, and paper products.
By adding a variety of these materials to your compost bin, you can create a rich, nutrient-dense soil amendment that can be used to improve the health and fertility of your garden or landscape.
