I bet normally they have to pay to get rid of the stuff. :-)
I thought that treated sewage is not suitable, because of the high
concentration of heavy metals in it.

Some decades ago I lived in Woking, where the garden was in the Bagshot
Sand
area. Leatherhead council, a mere ten miles or so away, marketed an
excellent compost which they produced from household waste. They
charged,
if I remember correctly, 2/- per bag. I used tons of the stuff, until
the
blighters ceased production. I never found out why they stopped the
project. I would willingly have paid five times as much for the stuff.

Wasn't it for the reason I gave?

They never said why.

It doesn't seem to have done you any harm :-)

You should have seen/heard/read me before I started using the stuff.
