Yes, garbage can kill.

You need a burn barrel. Even in town where it may be regulated out, you can still keep a burn barrel so you have one just in case. No Law Enforcement means you could then use it.

If you have no burn barrel, dig a pit.

Almost everything will burn. What won’t burn, you can bury or re-use.

Out in the boonies where I live we deal with it all the time.

When I was a kid back in the 60s we burned all our garbage. Things that didn't burn like glass,cans,etc were at least sanitized by the fire so there was no smell or rotting food to attract vermin. We used to love those Aqua-Net cans in the fire barrel! BOOM!

When I was growing up, my grandparents lived out in the country but Grandpa worked in town. Always had that 55 gallon drum burn barrel out back. Kitchen organic waste went into the chicken coop (they did keep chickens and grew a large garden). Almost everything else went into the burn barrel.

Where my parents live they always had a “burn pile” before the liberals took over the county. I expect to have one where I live if SHTF.
