I personally run 3 bins and don't actually grow anything, I just can't bring myself to put bio-degradable stuff into the dumpster.

Um, why not? Doesn't it biodegrade just as well in the landfill as it does elsewhere? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I have no farmer in me and my plants die within days.

You are right burly in our area landfills make compost. The problems with this are 1 it is full of trash material like plastic 2 it is not created properly and by putting it on top of gardens will fill your garden with weeds. 3 well lets say not everybody gardens organically and some chemicals will make it through into your garden. Our company will use it in a pinch and only put it in the bottom of a perennial/tree hole and definitely not in something someone will eat. But it is there and it's free and it makes some pretty good starter in a pinch.
