I'm not sure what staples are made from but I chuck tea bags and their wrappers into the compost bin. I figure the staples in the tea bags will provide some iron at least.

I can't imagine staples hurting anything if they ended up in the soil.

Actually, I spare the staples mostly for the worms. I'm sure they'd be fine, but I have this inate fear of harvesting the castings and finding one impaled on a staple, so in the garbage it goes. I'd put it out in the lawn, but then the kids will impale themselves! Maybe the staples just need to go.
