Landfills have their problems, but it has been long determined that they are environmentally preferrable to uncontrolled burning and the chemistry of the emissions it creates.
My local Township has a dump and a recycling center. I take my recyclables there. I get my water from a well, once a well or aquifer is contaminated there are no other solutions to a water supply for us…. Like I said, burning trash is not for everyone. I was just making suggestions for doing so because people ARE doing it!
Out here, most people burn. Our family burns in a burn barrel as well as in an enclosed burn unit. First we recycle absolutely everything imaginable. Second we sort out the clean items that can safely be burned. Finally all that is left ends up in a landfill bag. We choose to burn because it is the best way to dispose of these clean items.
Wrapped in a plastic bag, it would be many years before any of them actually begin to degrade in an ever-overflowing landfill. Our budget took quite a hit this summer due to the drought. We had to pay for all of our waste during this time aside from the recyclable materials. I burn in a barrel several times a year.
I mostly burn cardboard and the clippings from my shrubs and trees. When the barrel is about halfway full , I scoop it out and spread it on my garden. The dirt is mostly clay and plants never did well. When I began adding the ashes from the barrel my plants took off the following year.
I was looking for a way to get rid of branches and twigs that take too long to break down in a compost pile. The method described is in no way different than someone using their BBQ. People who have issues with someone following the law, but not doing what they would personally do need to check themselves.
This is still a somewhat free country, if you are following the law have at it, and if you have an issue with the law work to change it. I personally see most laws as an infringement on liberty, but if you would rather live in a totalitarian state than have your neighbors burn I guess that is your prerogative.
I generate a lot of tree trash—pruned branches—that I pile up well away from the house as a refuge for small creatures. It gradually decomposes into the ground, at about the same rate I add more to the top. The point? No need for chopping, burning, burying or chipping, and the critters go there instead of into my barn. Good article! Producing biochar involves slowly heating biomass wood and other plant materials in a low-oxygen environment. This type of charcoal can do a number of things:.
When put back into the soil, biochar can stabilize the carbon in the soil, in the form of charcoal, for hundreds or even thousands of years. The introduction of biochar into soil is not like applying fertilizer; it is the beginning of a process. Most of the benefit is achieved through microbes and fungi.
I was fascinated when I first learned about the use of biochar as a part of Terra Preta in South America to create islands of fertility in the jungle suitable for growing crops. A less expensive option would be to look around locally for somewhere that might get oils or other industrial chemicals in large quantities. I couple of years ago, I was looking for a piece of property to build a warehouse on. Real estate agent said he had the perfect property, but it could not be use for housing.
An old household dry waste site. This site had not been used for 30 years. We decided to have the the site tested and dug six holes with a backhoe for investigation. Each hole we dug came up with waste that looked like it was there for a month! The environmental company we hired to dig the holes and I were amazed. Buried waste tends to stay remarkably intact.
I wonder if someday a technique will be developed to implant a thermonuclear device in the center of closed landfills, generating slow but intense heat incinerating everything in a prescribed diameter sphere actually time, but visualized as volume. Kind of like an extremely efficient burn barrel. If the county stops picking up trash or local disaster happens you need to know how to fend for yourselves.
You need to keep your property clean. Which and relying on what you know without county or government help. Canning, preserving, having food on hand, a way to purify your water, and take care of your trash. Thanks for the post. Sometimes burning rubbish far from houses, in an empty field, in a safe manner, like using a fireproof container as described in this article, is really the best option for some people.
I think less dioxins are produced, the hotter the fire is. It is not easy for everyone to travel, a long distance, just to put these empties, in a public recycle bin, and not everyone is comfortable with going next, or near rubbish disposal facilities.
Sometimes burning rubbish far from houses, in an empty field, in a safe manner, like using a fireproof container as described in this article, is really the best and only feasible, and affordable option for some people.
Thanks for the article Laurie, and the posts everyone, it made for interesting, and thought provoking reading. That it also occupies less storage space and presents less leakage risk are small bonuses. In my burn barrel i only burn paper, wood from trees, leaves, non-painted and non-treated scrap lumber. That way all the ashes are biodegradeable and they go in the garden.
Considering drilling holes in barrel about 8 inches from bottom, sliding in rebar pins and setting some expanded metal inside barrel for an air and drainage space. Best biodegradeable fire starter is dryer lint! Great idea! Fluidized bed combustion is the most efficient manner of generating hot flame retention.
I collected a few dozen flat shale rock about 12 — 18 inches in diameter. I constructed two parallel walls by simply free stacking the flat rock on top of one another to a height of about 12 inches. I left a 2 foot space between the two parallel walls leaving two open ends.
I cut the 4 x 8 in half so that it neatly fit across the top of the stacked shale. Do not dig a hole, any hole you dig will be detrimental to the burn process because it reduces airflow. I use a propane torch to set fire to the pile of kindling that is on top of the wire mesh.
As the fire builds I will then add the wetter garbage. The secret to a hot fire is the two open ends that provide a constant free flow of air to the bottomside of the wire mesh. This is a basic fluidized combustion process.
If you do not include leaves in your kindling, very little sparking will occur from the fire because it gets so hot from the constant supply of air from beneath the wire mesh.
After 3 or 4 burns ash will collect below the wire mesh, I simply use a spade to pitch the ash over into the nearby weeds, usually it it easier to simply lift the wire mesh from the top of the stone walls to do this. So gave me a good idea about barrel burning trash it is so great again thanks, my vacation is a little bit more relaxing now……. To save costs of recycling plastic jug and what not. When shopping, bring old gallon glass jugs or large mason jars you have labeled yourself, go to the stores big rubbish bins in the back of the store usually Fill the appropriate labeled glass containers you brought to the store with the corresponding item you just bought from the store.
Toss the emptied plastic into the stores rubbish bin. Problems solved. Money you saved. Time you saved. Thanks for this guide. I have learnt a lot from it. My problem so far has been that I need to burn dry branches but whenever I do that smoke is generated and this bothers the neighbours especially when they have their washing out to dry , so I am trying to find a smokeless or at least reduced smoke method.
I have access to a metal tank such as you describe so its is already a step forward to use that as opposed to an open bonfire, but was thinking that apart from holes on the sides I could maybe add a couple of fans the type used in computers connected to the side towards the bottom end by a hose to drive air into the fire.
Would more air being pushed in help reduce the smoke or just make things worse? More air flow will get you a hotter burn, which may reduce your smoke levels, but will reduce the lifespan of your barrel.
Adding air holes as described and elevating the barrel should be adequate. If you decided to add extra airflow, be really careful putting anything near our fire that could melt or catch on fire. Small diameter pieces will keep the burn quicker, also reducing smoke levels.
Thanks for clarifying. May I ask what in practise happens to the barrel over time, apart from it rusting from being out in the garden? Does the iron get consumed by the fire over time so it gets thinner and weaker? Maybe painting the barrel with something like this would keep it going for longer? Now you might say well its only a barrel and does not cost much to replace. While that may be true, it is still a hassle to obtain and lug one especially when one does not have access to a van or trailer and one also has to clean it out of oil or whatever, so I would imagine that it might pay to invest some time in protecting it as best one can.
Or is any such effort a waste of time? The cover will help with the rust. Standing water in your burn barrel will shorten the life significantly.
You could paint it if you want, and it may extend the lifespan a little longer. Many barrels have some sort of coating to start. The reason that higher temps may shorten the lifespan of the burn barrel is basic expansion and contraction. That might be an option.
As an example — we have a masonry stove. Our house is almost thirteen years old at this time. Most of the stove is in pretty good shape, although it did settle a little on the foundation. The inner burn box of refractory cement is fine, the external masonry is fine, the doors are fine.
The only thing that busted is the bottom ash grate. About eight years in, my son was cleaning it off outside on the lawn, and it slipped through his hands, about a foot down to the ground. It shattered into several pieces — on grass. This was a heavy duty steel grate that got extremely brittle simply due to repeated extreme heat. Storage barrels are not generally designed for extreme heat. If you follow my guide a few posts above for making a small fluidized bed combustion fire pit, you avoid all the trappings that containerized burning entails, in addition you never need to concern yourself with replacing barrels ever again due to corrosion.
The more free the flow of air is to the bottom of a fire, the hotter it will burn thus generating far less smoke than stuffing things inside a burn barrel. There is never any maintenance to my burn pit except once in awhile to scoop out ash that falls between the foot shale rock walls using a spade shovel.
Oversize branches from yard cleanup are easily dropped onto a burning fire pit with zero risk of burning yourself when trying to stuff material into the confines of a barrel. As i was pondering the issue, I again concluded we have come so far from a former state self reliance. To even consider paying that price is absurd. Great for emergency or survival food but no reason except laziness to use them daily cooking. Gotta fight against the urge to place convenience about Self reliance.
Bagged potatoes are a convenience themselves. No need for bagged instant. Im glad I woke up, Ive been walking along like a sheeple. Not the way I was raised. Burn barrel it is. Glad you had your epiphany. I also have had an awakening and purchased a burning barrel and have cancelled our garbage pick up. I am also thinking about what convenience foods I am purchasing and have started making as much as I can from scratch.
I love who I am becoming! So, good for you! Just follow the same rules as for burning anything else in terms of dryness, airflow and safety. We compost our leaves. How can I get one of these metal barrels to burn leaves not gonna be burning anything else but leaves so how can I get one?
Avoid any chemicals that may outgas when the drum is used for burning. I truly hope you got yours!!! If not…… you WILL!!! Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy? The thing that has me looking this up is that I just had to clean the contents of an old burn barrel that was left on the property by a previous owner. It was disgusting. It sounds like the burn barrel on your place was poorly managed. Ash is gathered and taken to the dump, where it takes up much less room because the hydrocarbons have been burned off.
This article from notes :. In fact, the US is on pace to run out of room in landfills within 18 years, potentially creating an environmental disaster, the report argues. The Northeast is running out of landfills the fastest, while Western states have the most remaining space, according to the report. Meanwhile, the amount of solid waste being produced is rising. And a regulation recently adopted by China could bring about a landfill catastrophe even sooner.
At the start of , the Chinese government enacted a ban on the import of various kinds of low-grade plastics and other materials that are extremely hard to recycle. The US exports around one-sixth of its recyclable material to China, and now waste processors are scrambling to find alternative places to send it. Since China stopped accepting many materials for recycling, most recyclables that we carefully sort out now go into the trash.
I sort into two bins, they empty both into one receptacle. Exactly, I lived in Seattle many years back and those clowns sorted their refuse into several different containers…on trash day a lone truck came by and picked up all of it. Thanks for the well-considered reply Laurie. Maybe some day there will be an alternative to the heavy waste stream that humans seem to have to buy into to survive.
There are ongoing attempts to reduce waste, but they are often ill-considered and poorly organized. As an example — to give the appearance of reducing packaging on items, a friend who worked stocking at a local retailer said that they were instructed to take items like snow globes out of their packaging for display. Then they would throw away the packaging.
When customers purchased the items, they would ask if there were boxes available — which had been thrown away. Other attempts, like using truly biodegradable materials, are gaining some traction, but the majority of the population opts for cheap and easy. As such, we are drowning in our own waste.
You may find the book Cradle to Cradle interesting. It talks about manufacturing that produces products that can be reused again and again. I thought it was a great idea when I first read it. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.

Great job, how big is the burn barrel? I think they could sell plans on the web. Mike and Lyn, My preferred method of dealing with waste is to eliminate it at the source — reduce, reuse, recycle.
From the article linked above: A new generation of compostable plastics, made from bio-based polymers like corn starch, is being developed to replace polycarbonates. You could kiss my ass! I would burn dog shit just for you every night. You are an ASS. Best move back to the city. You ignorant freak. Interpersonal relationship advice. It usually is worth what you pay for it.
There is very little smoke and no noxious odors when we burn. Wow, there is a lot more that goes into this than I thought haha. Where can you purchase a 55 gallon, open head open on one end drum made of steel? Rubbish is a problem, because too much stuff we use to be clean, makes the environment unclean.
Rubbish is a problem, because too much stuff we use to be Clean, makes, The Environment Unclean. Oh my lyn you MUST be so proud of yourself!!! Why not just throw it out? Because landfills are filling up.
