My mum took out the eco plugs that a tree surgeon used in our garden to kill off a tree stump, what are the dangers of this?

"If they were put in a while ago then you should he okay to remove them. If they have only been put in and you take them straight away then they can pose a danger to the environment and to pets and wildlife if not disposed of properly."

"If she’s taken them out b4 the stump has decomposed thn the stump will take longer to die and also you need to dispose of thm properly because of the chemicals in thm are harmful to animals"

"Hi there,it would say that if the plugs are disposed of correctly immediately then they pose no threat. Also if they have been in there for some time, then they should have served there purpose correctly. Hope this helps. Have a nice day."
