Our local waste tip has closed for the moment.
Green bin collections are being suspended to reduce the risk to workers
(allegedly - may just be to save money).

So for those with anything to dispose of which is not compostable in a
compost heap (if you have one) the top option seems to be to burn it on a
traditional garden bonfire.

No doubt there will now be a steep rise in complaints about smoke.

I have already seen reports of large garden bonfires getting out of
control (although not, I think, local to us).

Lidl had some dustbin type incinerators the other day.

Probably all gone, but worth a look I suppose.

The only problem with that is how to get there.

In the car as part of a grocery shop.

Lidl is one of our local supermarkets and we shop there regularly.

Got one. Now to see how effective it is.

Very flimsy but probably good enough to burn some bits of broken fence
panel with bits of chopped up vegetation on top.

At dusk, to avoid any risk to neighbours' washing.


Cheers

Two rubbish vehicles turned up today, one for recycling waste and the
other for general waste. Instead of the usual teams of 4 or 5 each
vehicle only had 2 - a driver and the other collecting all the sacks.
Our rubbish is separated into different coloured plastic sacks.

I also noted that the commercial waste collection service also had a
limited crew of 1 rather than the normal crew of 3.

With limited crewing the collection is much slower therefore if the aim
is to keep crew numbers to a minimum for isolation reasons perhaps more
vehicles are needed for general rubbish collection and hence vehicles
allocated for some activities have been re-assigned.

Considering we are in a pandemic of chest infection causing sever
breathing problems I think lighting bonfires is irresponsible in the
least even antisocial. You simply don't know who nearby might be
struggling to breath.

That's a very good point.

If you allow it to become tinder dry there isn't much smoke at all.
Someone had a terrible bonfire yesterday with a fog of foul smelling
smoke that clung to the ground I could smell the styrene in the air.

They work pretty well but don't last all that long if you use them very
often. My neighbour has one. I am enough of a pyromaniac to build a
bonfire that will go up very fast with no appreciable smoke. The trick
is in waiting until most of the stuff is bone dry.

Probably all gone, but worth a look I suppose.

And it's a calm day. Nothing like setting light to somebody else's
property, or sending a cloud of smoke across a main road!

Burning treated timber (such as old fence panels) can result in the
release of toxins into the atmosphere.

They're landfill.
