I was told that burning garden waste is naughty. Depends on the local bylaws I'd imagine. Fresh ashes can help to counteract the tendency for a polythene mulch to raise the acidity of the soil. Other options include composting the debris - but at this time of year there are likely to be lots of seeds in the mix, which will require a decent heap and a good temperature to kill them. For the same reason it wouldn't be ideal to simply leave the debris on site as part of the mulch.
