What Can You Compost With Farmer Pirates?
In general if it was once living or made from something that was once alive, you can compost it! This includes all foods with the exception of MEAT, BONES, and bulk OILS. Non-food products should be BPI, TUV, or CMA-W Certified. If not, please don't put it in your bucket, tote, or drop off bin.
