I use all kinds of vegetable for compost !
carrot skins
potato skins
lettuce cores (the big chunks left after pulling all the leaves off)
cucumber ends
Yuca scraps
leaves from trees
Banana skins
lawn clippings
I use a trash can
here’s a link to a pdf on composting . It explains stuff much better than I can in a post
