Some reviewers note plastic waste in the compost.

Have used compost many times but unfortunately is too full of plastic waste. After topping up our veg beds with this compost for several years it is absolutely littered with the stuff.

It seems the almost everyone heads to the compost site in the weekends. Ether dropping of yard waste from their work in the garden or picking up compost or mulch to put in the garden. Often people are very social and talk about the weather or what they are doing in the garden. This is a great municipal service to have.
