Default Moss, thatch etc.

Please excuse me if this has been posted before .... it sounds familiar
to me but I can't recall the answer.

I am in the process of giving our front lawn a much needed scarifying! I
suspect that over the past 3 or 4 years the moss and thatch factor has
grown to over 50% and there is a mountain of growing rubbish requiring
disposal. The question is, can I throw it in one of our compost stalls
along with the other items from the garden? Or is the moss likely to
take a very long time to become composted and effectively dead?

I'd prefer not to have to make too many runs to our local recycling
centre - where it would be chucked through the "green waste" windows for
composting. But do they have a turbo charged composting process which is
much more efficient than our "leave it to nature" system?
