About Composting

What to Compost

Browns:

• Hay and straw
• Dead leaves
• Sawdust
• Shredded black and white newspaper
• Hair and fur (no chemicals or dyes)
• Non-glossy paper and envelopes
• Cardboard
• Shredded 100% cotton materials
• Dust Bunnies

Greens:

• Fruit and vegetable scraps
• Coffee grounds
• Grass clippings
• Eggshells
• Tea leaves and tea bags
• Stale bread
• Cooked pasta and rice

How to Compost ^1

1. Select your food scraps.
2. Store the food scraps in your BLACK+DECKER Countertop Compost Bin.
3. Choose a place in your yard for your BLACK+DECKER Tumbler Composter
4. Make the compost mix - "Green and Browns" - layer greens and browns starting with the browns to allow for aeration. The number of layers depends on your space and amount of food scraps. Keep the layers to an inch or two. You can put a little bit of browns on the top to keep away flies and odors. (Remember 2:1 brown to green ration). Turn the compost to mix thoroughly.
5. Maintain the compost - Check that the compost is slightly damp and add water when needed. Turn the compost 5-10 rotations at least 2-3 times a week.
6. Removing the compost - the compost is done when it's dark and crumbly with an earthy smell. Empty the composter into a bucket, wheelbarrow, or tarp, and use in your garden.

What NOT to Compost

• Human or pet waste
• Meats and dairies
• Fats, grease, lard, or oils
• Plastics
• Coal or charcoal ashes
• Chemically treated materials
• Diseased or invasive plants
• Bones
• Black walnut tree leaves or twigs
• Yard trimmings treated with chemical pesticides
