I haven't made a dump run in twenty years. We recycle quite a bit of the cans/plastics/glass, and food stuffs to the local recycling bins. Any burnable trash is taken out once a week to the burn barrel and torched. All of the stove ash from my woodburner goes out to the chickens to peck around in. Big stuff including tree limbs, old couches, and other big stuff gets burned once a year in a big brush pile out back on the 4th of July (30' flames). I guess the argument could be made for whether to burn the trash, or send to a land fill ?....One hour in the burn barrel reduces 4 kitchen bags of trash to about a pound or two of ash when finished, while the landfill keeps growing and will last for 25 years buried underground.
