Maybe put them in a garbage can with a gallon of bleach, then fill it with water and let them soak a day or two, then throw them out wrapped in several garbage bags... I worry about putting store bought banana peels in my compost. Panama disease is super bad news for us here. It's not in Florida(so far as we know) and I don't want it to be. Race 4 anyway. I don't want either one on my property.
