If you have a rotary mower you canrun that over the cut up smaller bits

in almost 30 years it is likely that whatever it was is
rotted by now no matter what was done to it.

however, in the aims of keeping things simple and having
me do as little as possible i bury garden scraps at the
end of the season and let the soil community figure out
what to do with it.

indoors i keep a set of buckets with worms in them to
take care of all kitchen scraps and all paper scraps.
the most problem i have is any plastic coated items and
i hope to put those in the recycling or in the trash.
sometimes package designers put layers of plastic between
layers of cardstock so i no longer shred cardstock of
any kind, it all gets sent to the recycling people
instead.
