Another thing to add to speed up the composting is COKE! I remember
reading
about it in Organic Gardening a few years back. I don't know if it is
the
carbonization, the sugar, or the phosphoric acid. I find that it does
heat the
pile up. I also add stale beer. Don't limit your compost collecting
to only
solids. Fishtank water is good as are many of the liquids we pour
down the
drain.

What about Mtn Dew, coffee, OJ, and/or milk?

I think the Dew, Coffee and OJ would all be fine. I'd worry about the
smell of the milk though it would obviously decompose in a compost
heap.

Everything in a compost heap is decomposing. That's what makes it compost.
But in the garden and mixed with the other compost, it's not going to smell
bad like you spilt the milk in the boot of the car.
