Scott, I used to sell landscape products going back a couple of decades ago. One of our suppliers used to offer a budget mulch that was partially made from old wood pallets. We sold this product for a couple of months but kept finding foreign objects in it, the objects were exactly things that you would find in household rubbish. I did an audit on one load and found all sorts of nasty stuff in it and found over 40 different types of contaminates . We stopped buying the mulch. If someone could explain why we found tampons in our mulch they could probably explain why there was asbestos in mulch recently. Even today some of the really cheap mulches have bits of plastic in them.

I found a similar problem when buying mulch from one supplier. always bits of plastic in every suppliers load but asbestos? which is so heavily regulated? some companies play pretty dumb games when making up their product using rubbish tip scraps as filler/expander. good post cappie.
