For the most part, people say you can use leaves in compost. But I've
heard there are some tree droppings you should avoid putting in compost.
Anyone know which ones?

I assume you're talking about leaves that have naturally fallen from trees.
Leaves with waxy coatings such as Southern Magnolia and hollies are slow to
compost. However, I run my magnolias through a shredder and they do fine.
I don't compost holly leaves because of the prickers.
