I'll add dryer lint and toilet paper rolls to that list.
In our house, if it isn't meat, fish, fat, or plastic -- it's probably going in the compost.
I like 'unpaid bills' on the list... like the paid ones aren't compostable...
Wool felt will compost but I suspect that cheap polyester stuff they sell now will not decompose this century.
