The message
from "nambucca" contains these words:


Its ecologically sound and majority of councils encourage compost making
plus shortly it will be mandatory

That's rather ambiguous.
Shortly, or by 2010, it will be mandatory for councils to recycle a much
higher propertion of collected domestic green waste than most of them
currently do. It won't be mandatory for householders to have compost
heaps; millions of flat-dwellers could not, for example.
