They figured the turf has a lifetime of fertilizer applied to it because of all the cr@p that has played on the pitch. Even bus did not ruin the turf so you know its tough and strong.
Yeah sure !
..... probably a lot cheaper than paying a waste disposal contractor,
and land-fill dumping fees to get rid of it:
..... somewhere more aesthetically pleasing than Aldershot Town's
"landfill facility",
..... that they laughingly refer to as their " Stadium ".

Aldershot donated their turf for a cancer hospital so Chelsea gave them last season's turf for free so they don't go broke. Classy move from Chelsea.
