Hi, I've been looking around the web for information of whether junk
mail burnt is safe or advisable to use as a source of ash in the
garden or compost pile. But I haven't found anything useful yet. This
is junk mail (glossy, semi and non glossy) mostly with colour
printing. Anyone any ideas?


Personally, I would avoid it. Especially with colour
inks. That stuff might give off some rather toxic
fumes while burning, and if there are any heavy metals,
etc, that would still be present in the ashes.

I would suggest only burning black-print newspaper and
office paper, along with wood chips/scraps, etc.

My junk mail just goes into my city recycle bin.
