In the small TX town I grew up in during the 50's everyone burned their trash. Every house had a burn barrel (55 gal barrel with the top cut out) in the alley. You took all your trash out, put it in the barrel and lit it. Wonderful on wet days when it would just smolder for hours (worse yet it someone put wet chicken feathers or ? in and burned it). Once a month or so old man Horton (as we called him) came down the alley with a wagon pulled by 2 mules and emptied the burn barrels into his wagon.
Finally stopped this sometime during the 1960's IIRC.
