I don't...they take too long to break down.

BUT! if you have a food processor, you can cut them into pieces and grind them up and then put them in the compost.

Or if you have a good machete (sp?), you can chop them into pieces about 1/2-1" and they break down a lot faster too.
But be careful of your fingers if you do that!
