Warm, moist, well-turned compost breaks them down fastest, while cooler home compost takes longer. Cutting them into small pieces helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I put them in my green bin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if your council's FOGO service accepts certified compostable packaging.
