Ugh, don't do this. Almost all bagged mulch is dependent on area/processor, these are either municipal tree waste (trimming, felled trees) and/or pallet wood.
Eh, it's really not too bad. I've been using this for a few years, and in the past have had some misc trash like random plastic bits in it, but nothing that couldn't be picked out while dumping out the bags. This years batch seemed to be cleaner. It's not dyed, nor treated wood, and seems to do well in my mulch beds while refreshing.

I believe this product is made from mill and lumber scrap including treated product, which is why it's not recommended for use in vegetable gardens and playgrounds. I would definitely spend a little more money for a better product.
In 2003 they got caught using treated wood in their animal bedding. The Minnesota attorney general charged that Menards manufactured and sold arsenic-tainted mulch in packaging labeled "ideal for playgrounds and for animal bedding." Warning labels from the CCA-treated wood were found in the mulch. The EPA recommends that CCA-treated wood not be converted into mulch.
