Looks like it's not just Sydney that has a problem with lazy disposal of building rubble. Only buy from reputable suppliers peeps.

That one sounds like a dodgy builder was just scraping mulch and whatever into the truck before dumping it on someone. That case is legitimately bad.

I have gone to a random yard to pick up free mulch, though. It's a bit different when you go yourself. You're hardly going to load it if it looks contaminated with rubble.
