Thats only part of it. A partial list as to whats included:
food waste
non-recyclable paper products (boxboard, etc but not waxed cups)
yard waste, grass clippings, tree branches
basically anything that was once alive, processed or not
We can recycle boxboard
Quick comprehensive list:

Some key items:
tissues (i have bag after bag of them
)
anything that is is edible (bones, peels...)
"animal waste" (dog poo?, but I guess human poo would be okay too)
shredded paper (marks
)
very small plants (larger ones go in yard waste)
NOT toothpicks (don't know why)
tampons (just found that interesting)
animal bedding
diapers
