Comment on Red Flag Warning? Neighbor Has Fire
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 days ago
My neighbors burn almost daily, even during burn bans. I get why they burn stuff and I burn cardboard sometimes myself. Our town has very strict rules on trash pickup and you can get fined for more than 5 bags. I don’t violate ordinances or bans tho. Because I don’t want my town to burn down.

Is it common in the US to just burn stuff to get rid of it?
Sounds like an environmental nightmare…

Where I am it is. I burn things sparingly, usually only when I have way too many boxes to fit in my 5 trash bag maximum. That hasn’t happened in almost a year, thankfully. I’ve been able to find more of what I need locally so I’ve been ordering things online less and less.
