Default Can I put store receipts in my compost pile?

I have a lot of shredded store receipts and I am wondering if they can

the type of paper used for receipts?

Thanks,

You can use the store receipts in the compost. It should be soy ink.
I prefer to hang onto my receipts for at least a month. I add coffee
grounds and filter to the compost. You can add shredded B&W newspaper
too.
