Default Garden waste wheelie bin collection - some concerns

Some councils have issued new wheelie bins for garden waste and issued a
notice saying that the normal bin will not be emptied if it contains
garden waste.

Now what will people do if they want to dispose of nasty garden waste
such as lawn mowings contaminated with weedkiller or diseased
vegetation?

If they put nasty stuff in the garden waste bin - and then that waste is
made into compost for sale in garden centres - will there not be a
problem?

And is it possible, when buying garden centre compost, to ensure that
one doesn't get a compost containing council rubbish?
