[USCC] Plywood Sawdust in Compost

[Maureen Reilly]

In Ontario, Canada
The use of plywood, treated, or painted board in compost would create an 
obligation to treat all the resulting compost as a 'waste' and disposal/use 
would need to be accompanied by a provincial waste permit.

Ontario's regulations - correctly - put restrictions on contaminated wastes 
into compost in order to stop the use of compost to 'launder' toxic 
materials.  Without stronger regulatory standards and obligations the public 
cannot be sure what they are getting when they buy compost.
