I had one when I lived out in the sticks, but I have weekly trash pickup now, so...
|
|
Instead of ash and CO2 and water vapor, their trash all gets buried for future generations.
ETA - username is extremely appropriate. |

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. |

Keep your pollution on your own property.
Burning trash is in the top 5 trashiest things a person can do. |
|
I put the things in the can. The truck takes the things in the can away. I put the things in the can again.
|
|
I dont need a burn barrel because I have a job and can afford trash pick up.
OP is obviously a hobo. |

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.

Maybe it’s a north vs south thing, but it never would’ve even occurred to me to take the time and effort to burn my garbage instead of just putting it in the trash bin like everyone else

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. |

|
I hate that smell. I have one, but only burn paper cardboard and scrap wood in it.
|
|
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. |
|
The city comes by every week and picks up my trash. I know I pay for it but its not expensive enough for me to even know how much it costs.
|
|
I have a chiminea in my backyard. I use it to burn old statements and other documents.
Other than that I have a trash can. |
|
Look homeless guys
|
|
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.
A little environmental conscious might keep ya from poisoning yourself |

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.

I'm with ya OP. We burn our trash as well. The folks complaining about the smell sound like the same ones that move to the country and then bitch when they get a whiff of the hog farm they willfully moved next to.

Who says this city dweller doesn't have one?
Them hookers ain't gonna burn themselves. |

View Quote 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? |

I can tell you that a full can of WD40 makes a big kaboom and sends burning trash all over grandpas back yard.

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. |

I live in town and have a burn barrel but only for branches. I've got a hook-up that makes my trash go away like magic.

If my neighbors can fly a drone over my property against my wishes, then I can damn sure fly my trash smoke over theirs. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |
