Towns around here collect yard waste separately for composting, and
give it away also. My concern is I don't know what *other* people dump
on their lawns & gardens before bagging the refuse for the city to
collect.

No way would I use it on food plants. Ornamentals....maybe. There's
too many people that simply do not read directions on their lawn
chemicals and overapply thinking that more is better.
