OK in a compost or wormery in small quantities, but it is inadvisable to add in large quantities. See animal products.
Diseased plants.
Not suitable for composting. Nor are insect-infested plants.
Dog poo.
Not suitable in a compost bin or wormery. However, there are a lot of specialised products on the market, that are designed specifically to handle pet waste.

Egg cartons. For carbon.
Absolutely fantastic for wormery bedding providing it's free of coloured ink. Soak overnight before adding. Also suitable for composting in a hot or cold heap, especially if you have some high nitrogen materials to compost - shred before adding.
Envelopes. For carbon.
Suitable for hot and cold compost heaps or as wormery bedding. Great if you can access a source of it as it comes pre-shredded.
Eucalyptus leaves (dried). For carbon.
By the stage of being shed, dry eucalyptus leaves have yielded most of their nitrogen to the tree and therefore are considered to be mostly carbon. It has been said that eucalyptus oil is too toxic to be added to compost but there are people who seem to have no problem.
Eggs (yolks and whites). For nitrogen.
OK to put in a hot or cold heap or wormery.
Egg shells.
Will not really break down when added to compost whole. You can dry and crush them into a fine powder before adding to compost (they will contribute some calcium) or add to a worm farm (the worms take them into their gizzards and use them to macerate their food).
