Not in that amount. Municipal compost can also handle things like meat and bones. They mulch everything first which is why the compostable plastic works for them.

For smaller home compost I would probably not put any real trash in other than newspaper. Mostly because it dilutes the nutrients since its functionally sterile. We used to do lots of coffee, some citrus, small meat scraps, and newspapers layers in our vermiculture bin and it was CRAZY how fast they would run through everything. It was the richest compost I have ever seen.
