To give manure to a neighbor for their garden it had to be inspected by the “manure police”. A farmer in a neighboring town was told he could not take the “lees” from pressing his grapes and place them on his grapes because they were a “hazardous waste” from a manufacturing process! He had to hire “Clean Harbours” to take them to a hazardous waste dump!!!! In the state of Massachusetts (1993) a law states you may not compost anything that did not originate on your land.
