COMPOSTING AT HOME can look different in different homes. Most people will keep a small bin in their kitchen to collect food scraps such as fruit peels, vegetable scraps, paper products. 

Things you can not compost at home include dairy, meat or bread because they tend to get rancid in smaller compost piles and attract animals and can harbor harmful bacteria.

COMMERCIAL COMPOSTING is different than at home composting because it is collected and taken to a facility to be processed in larger amounts! The when there is a service provider that will come and pick up your food/organic waste. Commercial composting has associated fees that at home composting does not but has less limitations to what you can put it there. This is because the processing is much larger and hotter and can kill harmful bacteria.
