Can you tell what's wrong with this Mixed Compost roll cart?
If you guessed that it should have NO plastic and NO animal waste, then you are correct! Plastic bags and all types of animal waste have to go into the garbage. They are a major health hazard at Pacific Region Compost where we take all the mixed compost materials to be composted into dirt.
