I burn all my tires, vinyl siding, chemical jugs, limbs and junk. I burn it all at night so the 'heroes' can't see the towering plumes. Hell with a permit.

Why don't you just burn that inside the house so you can breathe the toxins instead of everyone else in the world? We have idiots that burn trash around here and I don't understand it. Everyone has weekly scavenger service in the first place. If you have a volume of scrap lumber, cardboard, paper, leaves sure, go at it. But these idiots that dump their household trash in a so-called "burn drum" where it won't draw air and burn right in the first place, and then light it and let it smolder all night are idiots. Did I say idiots? I live in a big lot, wooded subdivision in the first place. If I wanted to live in a place where a late night walk with the dog finds the whole neighborhood covered with a stagnant layer of smoldering household trash stench I would have bought by a dump or something.

Burned a pretty good one in Idaho when we were up there just before Thanksgiving. Have a small one started here in Texas that will go in a couple of months.

My favorite burn pile story. In the middle of a bad fire season, the guy down the street started a big burn pile out in front of his house. I called the Fire department. Multiple trucks showed up and dumped several hundred gallons on it. Wrote him a very large ticket. That fall during burn season, after several days of rain, on a very rainy day. I lit my burn pile. He called 911 and a Oregon State Police officer showed up at his house. I watched as he was pointing at me and waving his arms around for a few minutes. State cop drove by my fire and waved.

How can you burn cshit up without a burn pile?? Turns out there's a subset of 'humans' (arguable), referred to as "city people" or more broadly as Californians that are not versed in the therapeutic benefits of a burn pile. Same people probably don't fish or eat meat. .

A great spot for the local bunnies and quail to hide from our hawks during the winter months. Also a way for me to avoid visiting our local dump. About every third trip or so to the dump, and I end up with a flat tire. Right now it's mostly bark from our last firewood run. ![[Linked Image]](https://s25.postimg.org/d3jvvudfz/BYB2.jpg)

Even cardboard and paper are illegal to burn ouside here. Still a fair number of country people that burn their trash, or throw the bags out on the road, or sneak into the parks to put it in the dumpsters (also illegal). Neighbiring counties in VA have free dumsters for residents, but our county dump charges $5 minimum for dropping off. That, plus time and trouble and gas make $80 every three months for weekly pickup a pretty good deal.

When we bought our property, there were two large burn piles already to go. They were 60-70ft dia and 8ft tall.
We lit them during freezing rain episode. They burnt for the entire weekend. You could see it from a half mile away when you come down the road. I still remember how hot that fire was.

In our area burn permits are issued by the tribe. Every body has a burn pile but very few people bother to get a permit or follow the rules like calling first and having the fire out by noon (including me) yet I don't know of one single person that's ever been cited. It's basically an agency created to provide government funded jobs for "Native Americans".
As for burning household garbage.....rural waste removal is mandatory and tacked onto our property taxes.

They're impressive I hear, nothing to be taken lightly. Unless you've lived in the country in non-communist America your whole life.

several years ago here in ga. it was mandated that only natural debris could be burned, and only with a permit. it included solid wood tree parts, limbs, and garden debris. no trted lumber, no lumber or funiture, etc. of any kind. no trash such as paper, boxes, pallets. you get the drift.
and yes, the state forestry dept is the enforcement mechanism as far as i know. every county is a little different, what with population, land-use activities, density of housing.
something about air quality or some such, or global warming, or neighbors too willing to sue. i don't know.

Back in the 7o's, an environmentalist was quoted as saying, "Nothing ever really goes away". I think he was right.

Not much freedom left in America if you can't burn your sheit w/o some snowflake having a meltdown. oh, i forgot to add a "got-cha" as in the summer months a huge number of counties ringing atlanta can't burn outside at all (they can run their grills). it's to do with emissions coming from cars idling in the hot sunshine on top of asphalt as the traffic piles up. oct-april is ok to burn i'm thinking, with a permit of course. summertime hardwood control burns in said counties are history. the state epd is probably under the command & control of the us epa.
