Yep: National Trust annual kilo-through-the-post.

Heavily printed with the message, in the now-familiar ticking-off
school-marmish tone: "Do not put in your recycling. Put in your
compost." [1][2]

An increasing proportion of my periodicals are arriving in
such wrappers. They generally suggest that they may be placed in
the garden waste bin.

I checked with my council, but they replied

"Unfortunately this cannot go into our garden wastes bin. What
the producers of your magazine possible have not told you is that
if this goes to an open windrow facility, which is what we use,
it could end up being windblown around the site and become
litter. The information provided is applicable to what is called
in-vessel composting, which we do not use."

I guess few others will actually check, so they are going to get
lots of contamination in their waste.

I have attempted to get this point over to some of these
publishers, and have been met with a deafening silence. :-(
