Very good point. It would be better to bin them than make the plastic polution problem worseHhmmmm, not sure about the plastic and tape slowly degading/leaching into the soil over a (long) time. That plastic might get very brittle too, and easily break, then u have small little pieces of plastic in your nice organic compost. Not sure if it’s a good idea. Too bad you are way over there... i have a brand new composting “kit” on Craigs List right now..
