Animals aren't around the compost bin if composting's done properly. That's why some kitchen scraps aren't considered compostable. Dairy products, grease and oil, and meat attract wild life. So they don't go in the bin.

Aerobic bacteria are the smallest and they manage the chemical reactions that take place, converting air, water, nitrogen rich waste matter into heat, carbon dioxide and ammonium which is converted further into nitrates (plant nourishment) by bacterium.Fungi and worms help to aerate the compost.

Can all food scraps off the dinner plate be recycled into the same recycling bin?

Food scraps are not usually recycled, unless they are collected for composting or for feeding animals, for example, a local pig farm. You can put your food scraps into a compost bin in your garden, or into a worm farm on your balcony, or into a Bokashi compost bin, where microorganisms are added to the scraps. When the container has composted you keep back a bit of the result to use as starter for your next bin, rather like yoghurt or ginger beer. Meat and fish scraps are usually not composted as they can smell and attract vermin.

How does a compost heap turn food into compost?

A compost heap is basically a big pile of leftover food scraps. As the material stacks up, the temperature inside the pile gets increasingly higher everyday. This is good because it means that microorganisms are at work. Once the food is fully decomposed by decomposers, the gardener has cheap and environmentally sound topsoil.
