In that case, I will defer to the other posters who have responded to
your initial post.  They are correct in saying that these wastes need to
be put *outside* in your composter every day or two.

The decomposition of *any* material produces gases that may not be safe
if kept in an enclosed area.  Your outside composter allows for
evaporation of these naturally occurring gases.
