Vegetal material is best. Meat is not so good. It's smelly.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

I think acid is better for bodies. But I'm sure it still leaves plenty of forensic trace.

My hometown just started composting with green waste. They gave us a little handled bin to toss everything in the kitchen and then transport to the green bin.
I'm very excited by this turn of events. The flyer confused me though. On the cover they picture all the allowable objects including all food scraps (meat too) and soiled paper. What surprised me was a picture of a milk carton.
I have always understood waxed paper was not recyclable or compostable. Am I mistaken? And if so, that's even more exciting to me.
We also have single-stream recycling. The composting has greatly reduced my trash volume.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have always understood waxed paper was not recyclable or compostable.
It's really up to each municipality (or more precisely, their recycling contractor) - ours started allowing gatefold milk cartons just last year, along with a bunch of other new things, and I had the same "but that's not recyclable!" reaction.
(I'd still trust the list more than the cover illustration, though. Who knows if they intended for that to be actually official or just for pretty.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We have curbside pick up for trash, recycling, and green waste. And the cool thing about the green waste is that the city actually composts it and then gives away the mulch for free. We compost most of our food waste ourselves.
To answer Connie's question another way, yes, you can just use it in your garden, but even if you aren't using the compost (or aren't using it very often) you still are producing significantly less waste.

I'm blocked from that, is that the Brigham Young University Library?

I believe so. It's really well done.

But...but...the actor says "liberry." TWICE.
Sammich I'll forgive. Liberry is a pet peeve.
