It is generally not recommended to add sausages to a home composting bin.

Sausages, like other types of meat, can attract pests and animals and may produce an unpleasant smell as they decompose.

In addition, sausages can harbor bacteria and other pathogens that can be harmful to humans if they come into contact with the compost.

If you have leftover sausages that you want to dispose of, it is generally better to wrap them in a plastic bag and throw them in the trash, rather than adding them to a home composting bin.
