Food is one of the basic necessities of life. It is a fact that everybody lives for food, and if you cannot have food at least thrice a day, it will become harder for you to survive. But many times we find that food are being wasted. What happens when the food are wasted is that rotten food can cause harm to people. This is the reason why food scraps should be composted.

However, when you think of composting food scraps, you must make sure that you take permission or at least discuss with your municipal corporation. There are many cities in the world that do not support home composting food scraps. The basic reason for this is the concern regarding attracting rodents and also other creatures, which can turn to be highly harmful. Whereas, there are many communities that explore curbside food waste disposal. They make use of receptacles that have been specially designed. It is believed that they do this because they have the potential to have control over the food waste stream much better.

But there is also an argument against that. It has also been said that such kind of food disposal comes with a flaw. As a matter of fact, there are some food products that are not appropriate for composting. Here are some of them which can and cannot be composted. The ones that can be composted include vegetable and fruit wastes, no matter if they look very bad; old bread, pizza crust, cookies, noodles, crackers, or anything that are made of flour; grains like rice; old spices; tea bags, coffee grounds; egg shells; corn cobs and husks. On the other hand, the ones that should not be composted are fish or fish waste; any kind of oil; dairy products; meat or meat waste. These food wastes cannot be composted because they make an imbalance in the nutrient-rich structure of the other category of vegetation as well as food, rodents as well as other scavenging animals get attracted easily, and the compost bin will smell so bad that it can turn somebody to puke.

However, food composting system has been supported by many as the ones that get composted help in making great fertilizers. So, if you think you are having a lot of food waste that are compostable, then make the effort to compost them and help the environment to grow as a healthy one.
