Default Is it safe to use wood mulch?

Several towns/cities grind up all the limbs, branches, and trees that are
discarded in their landfills. They offer the wood grindings free for use
as mulch.

I am concerned about getting and using any of this because who knows what is
in it, and I am especially concerned that there may be wood from oak trees
that died of Oak Wilt. Surely if there are, this would spread the disease
to Oak trees on which the mulch was used. If there is Oak Wilt, I
wouldn't even want it anywhere on my land.

Is anyone else concerned about this, and are the landfills, in an attempt to
help, really taking a chance on spreading disease all over?

Comments - please. Bob
