Instead of ash and CO2 and water vapor, their trash all gets buried for future generations.

I never liked burning my trash when within a mile of neighbors. I didn't want to be an asshole, but I guess if you don't have neighbors, carry on.

Because burning trash is gross as shit, fucky to breath, and not necessary.

I don't live in a city, but since my closest neighbors don't want to breath those fumes, nor I theirs, I choose to be a good neighbor instead of an asshole.

Even the less shitty of the 3rd world countries have garbage trucks.

You've been breathing garbage fumes if you think that the proper way to react to environmentalist overreach is burning trash.

It doesn't take much of it to stink up a whole valley on the right day.

The idiots around here that burn trash like to wait until it's raining, with plenty of humidity, to ensure the shit just hangs in the air for miles.

The wind took down a good portion of a tree on the front yard.   We have a big front yard.   We used to call the fire department to make sure that it was ok to burn downed tree limbs out there.    Now we just do it.   Plus the neighbors tend to bring over what ever they want to throw on the pile.

I just run mine to the landfill as needed. a full dump trailer of construction debris only costs like $20 to drop off, I usually just empty my trash cans right into the load before I go.

One of my duties each week on the farm was to burn the trash, not a fun job. Probably why I'm so short.

A few times a year the pile would get buried.

When I moved into my apartment and the trash got picked up every week I didn't even know what to do with myself.

There is this magical vehicle called a garbage truck. You pay a fixed monthly fee, and the garbage truck takes care of everything for you.

We have 3 burn barrels. We used them when we first moved to the country. Found out quick not to put baby diapers in them. They put the fire out. We have a weekly trash pick up now for $36 a month. Our neighbors burn trash up wind of us and all the plastics smell and other stuff set off my kids asthma like crazy. We still burn cardboard and some other stuff. But, pretty much stopped the burn barrel thing.

City folks use a garbage pickup service.  Not really beyond comprehension..

I burn burnable stuff.  I used to burn plastic indiscriminately but finally wised up and decided my little burn barrel isn't getting nearly hot enough to safely incinerate the nasty chemicals before they can make it into my lungs.

Metals that are worth anything, I store up to take to recycler.  Brass, copper, aluminum...

Steel, tin, scrap metal, glass etc I take to a local recycler who doesn't pay shit... but he's about a mile from my house so meh.  Convenient.

Organic stuff I throw out in the field. It can compost out there for all I care.

We burned our trash when I was a kid.  It was my job.  Fun times...with random aerosol cans blowing up.  Damn sisters.

No can do where I live now, but no need.

In Austin they compost spaghetti and old hot dog buns, among many other organically based products. Required for restaurants.

Zero waste program. Can’t wait to see the size of the rats at the composting site.

I burn certain trash items.  However I've seen plenty of ignorant people burn stuff that forms dioxins......within feet of their shallow bored Wells too.  Burn as hot as you can and watch what you burn and it's not a problem.

In some places (Mexico, El Salvador, Iraq, and other cool places) it's the only option they have.  The rest of us don't burn it.

Plus they burn plastic which usually ends up smoldering for hours. My nieghbor used to burn his shit. He'd be at his camp all and stop by to burn his trash. His shit was smoldering so bad one night /I filled his burm barrel with water.

Why do you feel you have a right to send your toxins over to your neighbors?

The smell off a farm isn't harmful an any way, it's just stinky, the stink that comes along with trash smoke is pure poison.

Also, from the looks of things, it's illegal to burn trash in your state.

Edit: According the the internet is also illegal in GA.

Is there any states where it is even still legal to burn household waste?

Tractor tires are my favorite.

They go on for days.

If the Indians had tractor tires they could have sent smoke signals nonstop for damn near a week.

Tractor tires do have a pungent odor unless you mix them with a lot of old Roundup and Diazinon plastic jugs.

How is the drone hurting you, vs sending a cloud of toxins over to them?
