[5th MEB]

I have been recycling for years; compostable garbage goes into the compost heap for the gardens.
Everything (I mean EVERYTHING) else goes into the burn barrel and turned into smoke.
The non-burnables (metals) get raked out every 2 or 3 months and I take that to the dump.

Same here, except I use a large magnet to get the metal out and save the ashes in barrels to put on the ice in the winter.
