I do compost my vacuums dirt and have so for many years with no ill effects. I always toss and tumble my compost right after adding anything from the vacuum.

I know you can theoretically compost vacuum dirt, but what of the heavy metals that collect in household dust? For the time being, I opt not to compost it for this reason.

I’ve been warned not to compost vacuum cleaner dust if you live in a city because of the amount of synthetic junk we bring in on our shoes–I’m advised that vehicle tyres are generally made from plastic, and fine particles cover the surfaces on which we walk. Anyone have any scientific data on this?

Great site, btw!

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know I can put my Hoover bag insides to the compost pile. Thought the dust is too unnatural since you can’t see it in the nature outside.

I found your website while searching for something related to my niche and just wanted to let you know what a great idea for a website this is :) Not a big pro at composting – usually only leaves until now, but thanks to your site i will try a few more things. Great work!
