Composting shredded till receipts

PunkRoquefort · 2023-04-04 20:18:17

I have been shredding my till receipts and putting them in my composters. Recently, I have read that some contain BPA and should not be composted. Do you compost yours?

The receipts which are shiney are coated with a chemical which changes colour with heat.
The chemical affects some. More research to see how it breaks down in soil or affect the worms.
I'm going to pass

I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
