When I was a kid most houses had an incinerator in the back yard.
Anything combustible was thrown in and that included plastic bags and other synthetic trash.
The ash was thrown out with the non combustible rubbish.

All of that has since been outlawed and we now use a three bin system. (general rubbish, recyclables and green waste)

We can still BBQ with charcoal or briquettes but the Greenies have been pushing to ban that as well.
They also want to ban out door gas fires so your only option is electric.

Personally I think banning incinerators and sorting rubbish has been a step in the right direction.
